Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
For over 40 years, EVANS has been a pioneering brand in drumhead design. The EMAD series has established itself thanks to its external damping concept, becoming a benchmark for achieving a cleaner, more controlled sound without excessively muting the drum shell.
Target Audience for This Drum/Instrument
This tom head is aimed at intermediate to professional drummers seeking quick tuning and controlled sound, both in the studio and on stage. It suits rock, pop, funk, metal, as well as live contexts where clarity and attack must remain consistent.
Features and Innovations
The EMAD system incorporates removable external dampeners that optimize attack and precision while maintaining the natural feel of the tom. The presence of the hoop provides stability and compatibility with metal hoops, useful for consistent tuning and strong playing.
Sound
The transparent 10-mil single-ply film promotes a direct response, with a sharp attack and good projection. The external damping helps reduce overly intrusive overtones and refocuses the sound on the fundamental, resulting in a cleaner tom with better-controlled lows and enhanced definition depending on the chosen setting.
