The Evans EMAD Coated Bass Drum Batter Head in 22-inch size is designed for drummers seeking powerful low-end punch, controlled sustain, and a warmer attack than a traditional clear bass drum head. Featuring Evans' Externally Mounted Adjustable Damping (EMAD) system, this head makes it easy to fine-tune bass drum response without the need for excessive internal muffling.
Whether you're playing rock, country, worship, pop, blues, or modern studio sessions, the EMAD Coated delivers a focused, professional kick drum sound with the flexibility to adapt to different musical environments.
The coated surface helps soften the initial attack while adding warmth and depth to the overall sound. Combined with the EMAD damping system, drummers can quickly adjust sustain and resonance to fit their playing style.
The EMAD series has become a staple among drummers because it offers simple, effective tone shaping. Instead of relying on blankets, pillows, or extensive muffling, the EMAD system allows quick adjustments while preserving the natural feel of the drum.
Many drummers appreciate the EMAD series for its ability to deliver a punchy, mix-ready bass drum sound with minimal setup effort. The coated version adds warmth and a slightly smoother attack, making it a popular choice across multiple genres and performance settings.
From weekend gigs to professional recording sessions, EMAD heads have earned a reputation for reliability, versatility, and consistent performance.
