Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
This drumhead fits into the "immediate control" approach: a simple external damping system that is easy to install and adjust, designed to quickly achieve a usable bass drum sound for both live performance and recording.
Intended Users
It is suitable for beginner to advanced drummers who want effective tuning, a more focused low end, and fewer unwanted harmonics, while maintaining dynamics depending on style and stroke.
Features and Innovations
The EMAD principle allows you to modify the amount of attenuation by changing the external ring (13 mm for moderate control, 18 mm for a shorter, drier sound), without adding internal accessories.
Sound Characteristics
The transparent single-ply film promotes attack and clarity, providing a direct playing feel. The EMAD reduces harmonics and tightens the low spectrum for a punchy low end, easier to mic and place in a mix, both in studio and on stage.

Questions frequently asked
Is this drumhead compatible with a 22-inch bass drum?
Its 22-inch diameter is designed for a bass drum of the same size.
How does EMAD damping work on this bass drumhead?

What sound does a single-ply 10 mil clear drumhead produce?
The single-ply 10 mil clear film promotes a clear attack and a direct feel. The EMAD damping tightens the low end and limits unwanted overtones.
EMAD Onyx 22 drumhead: which damping rings are included or compatible?
Two widths of interchangeable external mufflers are specified: 13 mm and 18 mm. They allow adjustment of damping without adding accessories inside the bass drum.
Is this drumhead suitable for rock, jazz, or fusion?
This configuration is marketed for rock, fusion, and jazz. Its punchy and focused low end facilitates sound reinforcement both on stage and in the studio.
