9 best bass drum batter head

Product description

Whether you play rock, blues, country or metal, the Evans EMAD System Pack is for you. Named for the externally mounted adjustable damping (EMAD), the versatile system caters to all bass drum tones by allowing each player to control the attack and focus of the drum head by choosing one of two removable foam damping rings. Choosing the thinner foam ring allows for punch and focus without sacrificing resonance, while choosing the wider foam ring maximizes the low end and attack of any bass drum. A consumer favorite, the EMAD system value pack is an economical way to get both a front and back drumhead. It includes one 22” EMAD batter bass drumhead featuring a single ply of 10mil film providing an ideal balance of punch, power and low-end. Plus, one 22” REMAD resonant drumhead featuring an offset 4" microphone port in a single ply of 10mil film. A black, noise-free plastic sleeve on the resonant drumhead holds a foam dampening ring around the edge of the microphone port which controls overtones, enhancing pitch focus and attack. Enhanced with revolutionary Level 360 technology, the bass drumheads are easier to tune, with a wider tonal range than ever before. Applying the new Level 360 collar shape to the EMAD bass drumheads provides heads that are easier to tune and a wider tonal range for a sound that is studio ready. For over 60 years, Evans Drumheads has been a pioneer in drum head manufacturing and design. Now part of D’Addario & Company, Inc., Evans products are proudly made in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the USA to the most stringent quality controls in the industry.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the size of the hole
Answer:	I'm not sure but I can just slide my beta sm 91 in there. Shure mic
Question:	Is evans emad system pack, 22 inch comes in 2 pcs (front & back
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Does it come with the hardware needed to attach to the base drum
Answer:	It comes with a batter head and a ported front head but hardware. You would use the lugs and claws that are on your bass drum if you have them.
Question:	I have a tension watch for my drum heads what should I tune this head to to play heavy metal
Answer:	Loosen all the lugs first , then finger tighten all the lugs , push down on the rim with both hands and body weight in 4 different points , then finger tighten the lugs again . Once that is done 1/4 turn all the lugs than 1/4 turn all the lugs again . That what I do . If your personal preference is tighter than that use 1/4 turns only so you don't have the rim and the head seat uneven . If their is to much boom tighten the front head 1/4 turns and try it until the boom is gone or as close to gone as you can get it . I also have a pillow in it to soak up the sound . Hope this helps you .

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this clear or coated? It says clear but the image shows a coated one, same as the description
Answer:	the hybrid is a very thick head and you must tension it very tight.i would say the hd dry is more suitable for all around playing
Question:	Is this for the batter side and is this durable
Answer:	if you exclude the tone disc in the middle of the head both heads are about the same, this head is slightly more durable for heavy hitting while still giving the solid snap. but on the sound/tone scale the B14HW and the G2 are pretty much the same aside from the tone disc in the middle of the head. and they are both slightly left of middle, personally i prefer the B14HW over the coated G2 simply because the B14HW is slightly sharper in attack but doesnt carry as long as the coated G2.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this head work for any brand? Going to be a gift for my bf & all I know about his drums is the measurement and that he uses a double bass pedal
Answer:	Any brand and style will fit, based on the drum diameter. This drum head is for the resonant side (the front of the drum) and the batter head is on the side that the pedals are on. There is a difference between resonant and batter heads. I can recommend the Evans EMAD heads for both resonant and batter sides of the drum.
Question:	Some reviews here say the head pictured is not what they received, even though it sounds great. Can someone confirm that the head has a mic hole
Answer:	Yes, mine did because this is what I needed. It is better than most because the mic hole is actually a protected hole; not just a cut hole with raw edges. I was very pleased. One wonders with other sizes, however. I bought for my 20" studio kick.
Question:	What I you cut a large hole in the center of a res head? Does it hurt or help or no difference
Answer:	The hole is only really designed for using a microphone. Before cutting the whole, position the microphone in different locations to find the best response area and then cut your hole there. We recommend this to cute the hole itself. https://www.amazon.com/Gibraltar-SC-GPHCUT-Bass-Drum-Cutter/dp/B00BAYPO9W Thanks for your interest. Y2PLAY Stores 1-800-695-4808
Question:	Can you fit a kickport in this head
Answer:	The Kickports come with a template to cut the hole as needed to fit the Kickport. You will need to cut the hole to the proper size with any head. Thank you for your interest! Y2PLAY Stores - 800-695-4808.
