Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
This head fits within the logic of modern heads featuring external sustain control via the EMAD system. The principle: preserve the natural character of the bass drum while offering immediate damping adjustment, without internal modifications or permanent changes.
Target Audience for This Drum/Instrument
It is particularly suitable for intermediate to advanced drummers seeking a bass drum that cuts through the mix, with present lows and a clear attack. Perfect for Rock and Fusion, it remains highly relevant in Jazz if you prioritize warm lows and controlled sustain depending on the chosen muffler.
Features and Innovations
The G-Plus technology combined with the EMAD system allows switching from an aggressive, precise sound to a more diffuse response in seconds, simply by changing the external muffler (13 mm for more openness, 18 mm for greater control). The transparent finish promotes a direct response and a clear playing feel.
Sound
With its single 12 mil ply, this head emphasizes a bass-heavy attack and excellent stick definition. The damping system modulates sustain: more open for a breathing low end, or tighter for a short, precise bass drum sound that is very effective in close miking situations.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Evans BD22GMAD drumhead compatible with a 22-inch bass drum?
Its 22-inch diameter is designed for a bass drum of the same size.
How does the EMAD system work on this bass drumhead?
The EMAD system uses interchangeable external mufflers of 13 mm or 18 mm width. The 13 mm muffler preserves more openness, while the 18 mm muffler reduces the sustain more strongly.
What is the thickness of this clear drumhead?
This drumhead uses a single-ply 12 mil construction with a clear finish. This setup promotes a direct response and a bass-heavy attack.
What sound is achieved with the 13 mm or 18 mm muffler?
With the 13 mm muffler, the bass drum maintains a more open low end and warm resonance. The 18 mm muffler offers a shorter, more controlled response. The character can thus range from a precise attack to a more pronounced diffusion.
Is this EMAD drumhead suitable for rock, jazz, and fusion?
This model is recommended for Rock, Fusion, and Jazz. Its external damping allows the sustain to be adapted according to the desired musical style.
