Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

For over 60 years, EVANS has designed drumheads that meet drummers' practical needs, with lines that have become benchmarks such as EMAD, Hydraulic, and UV1. The EMAD2 System pack fits within this philosophy: to offer a modern, powerful, and controlled bass drum sound with simple and reproducible tuning.

Who This Drum/Instrument Is For

This pack is aimed at beginner to advanced drummers who want a bass drum sound that is easier to tame, whether in rehearsal, on stage, or in the studio. Particularly suited for styles requiring punch and precision (rock, pop, metal, funk, contemporary music), it also delivers a clean, "mix-ready" sound without the need for internal muffling.

Features and Innovations

The EMAD2 batter head combines two plies to enhance attack and low-end sustain, while the two damping rings allow quick adjustment of note length. The EMAD resonant head features a 10 cm offset vent to facilitate microphone placement, with a foam ring around the opening to reduce unwanted harmonics. Both heads benefit from Level 360 technology for easier tuning and more consistent response.

Sound Characteristics

With its double ply, the EMAD2 batter head delivers a bass drum sound that is deeper, more defined, and with a clearly audible attack, ideal for stick or double pedal strikes. The damping rings allow switching from an open sound to a shorter, more controlled tone without losing body in the low frequencies.

The pierced resonant head enhances the sense of projection and simplifies mic capture, while maintaining a clean sound thanks to the foam ring around the vent. The result: a more focused kick with less unwanted noise and controlled sustain.
