Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The UV EMAD range follows the philosophy of the brand's UV heads: a UV-hardened sanding designed to better resist wear and maintain a consistent response over time. It stands as an ideal option for drummers who appreciate the feel and durability of the UV1, while seeking immediate control on the bass drum thanks to the EMAD system.
Target Audience for This Drum/Instrument
This bass drum head is aimed at beginner to advanced drummers who want a ready-to-play sound, easy to tune, and effective both in rehearsal and on stage. It is particularly suited for styles where the bass drum needs to remain clear and impactful: rock, pop, metal, funk, and contemporary music in general.
Features and Innovations
The combination of a 10 mil single ply and UV hardened sanding delivers a precise feel under the stick or mallet, with a stable response. The highlight is the integration of the EMAD system, designed to channel resonances and focus energy: less time spent adding foam, more consistency from hit to hit, and a denser low end without losing attack.
Sound
Thanks to the single ply film, the attack remains clear and dynamic: the bass drum "speaks" quickly, with controlled snap. The UV sanding contributes to a more controlled feel and cleaner definition, useful for maintaining a clear sound in a busy mix.
The EMAD device enhances the perception of punch and bass by limiting intrusive harmonics. The result: a more focused, more "studio" sound that is easier to mic, while retaining good natural projection.
