As part of the D'Addario family, a world - leading brand in musical instrument accessories, Evans is well - known for its top - notch quality and consistency. Decades ago, Evans led the way in drumhead manufacturing and design, and today they're still at the forefront of innovation. Made in the USA, the EMAD series bass drum head features an externally mounted adjustable damping system. This system gives drummers the power to adjust the attack and focus of the drum head. You can choose from two removable foam damping rings. The thinner ring offers punch and focus while keeping resonance, and the wider ring boosts the low - end and attack of any bass drum. The EMAD head is made of a single 10 - mil ply and comes in clear, coated, and Evans Onyx finishes, available in sizes from 18' to 26'.

Using this Evans EMAD bass drum head is a breeze. First, choose the foam damping ring that suits your playing style. If you like a punchy sound with good focus, go for the thinner ring. For more low - end and attack, pick the wider one. When installing the drum head, make sure it's evenly tightened to get the best sound. As for maintenance, keep the drum head clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it after each use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can damage the drum head. Also, be careful when handling the removable foam rings to prevent them from getting torn or lost.
