Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The EMAD series has established itself as a modern reference for drummers seeking an immediately usable bass drum sound without internal modifications (patches, foam, glued rings). The principle is simple: a external, quick, and reliable attenuation control that allows adjusting the head's character according to the room, mic placement, or style. Within the range, this 2-ply EMAD targets a more muscular and controlled register, with a generous low-end response and a clearly defined attack.Who This Drumhead Is For
This head is intended for beginner to advanced drummers who want to easily achieve a clean, consistent bass drum sound suitable for mixing. In Rock and contemporary music, it delivers the punch and precision needed to cut through a wall of guitars. In Fusion and Jazz, it maintains roundness and beautiful dynamics at low stroke intensity while controlling sustain to stay clear in studio or live contexts.Features and Innovations
The core of the EMAD concept relies on two interchangeable external mufflers : a 13 mm model and an 18 mm model. In seconds, you change the damping and thus the note length, foot feel, and attack definition. The benefit is twofold: preserving the natural attack of the bass drum and maintaining a wide dynamic range, even when playing softly. The 2-ply construction enhances stability and helps achieve a full low end with immediate control, especially appreciated in live settings.Sound
In transparent and 2-ply version, this EMAD aims for a bass drum sound that is both dense and controlled: an attack full of bass, with a pronounced presence in the low spectrum and excellent clarity. The sound can range from aggressive and precise to more diffuse, depending on the muffler installed, which facilitates adaptation to room acoustics or close mic placement.Regarding resonance, it delivers a warm signature with an enormous low-end response. The external damping allows controlling sustain without "killing" the head: the note remains lively, the pedal responds well, and the bass drum retains a sensation of controlled power, ideal for achieving a mix-ready sound in the studio or a sharp impact live.
