Evans EMAD2 System Bass Pack 22 Inch

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

For over 60 years, EVANS has been one of the most innovative brands in the drumhead world, with landmark advances such as the first synthetic drumhead and iconic lines (EMAD, Hydraulic, UV1). The EMAD2 System pack follows this logic: offering a complete solution designed to address drummers' real needs, with consistent manufacturing and optimized fitting thanks to Level 360 technology.

Who This Drum Set/Instrument Is For

The EMAD2 System pack is aimed at beginner to advanced drummers who want a controlled bass drum sound without internal modifications. It is especially suitable for rock, pop, metal, funk contexts and for studio or live situations where kick clarity and consistency are essential.

Features and Innovations

The EMAD2 batter head combines two thicknesses (7 mil and 10 mil) to balance precision, power, and low-end response. The damping system is adjustable via two interchangeable rings that allow switching from a more open sustain to a shorter, focused sound. On the resonance side, the 10 cm offset port facilitates microphone placement, while the foam ring around the port helps reduce unwanted overtones. Both heads incorporate Level 360 technology for easier tuning and a broader tonal palette.

Sound Characteristics

With its double-ply construction, the EMAD2 batter head promotes a sharp attack, enhanced definition, and present lows, while maintaining control over note length. The damping rings allow quick adjustment of the bass drum's behavior: more resonance for a fuller sound, or a drier response for precise, effective hits in the mix.

The resonant head, single-ply 10 mil, maintains a good balance between response and projection, while offering a practical solution for stage and studio use thanks to its offset port and overtone management.
