I just put the
Evans EMAD 2 bass drum head on my bass drum (has a muffling ring already on it from the box), and removed the pillow I use to use. The only additional muffling I am using is the
Evans EQ pad which touches the batterhead at the bottom.........! I use a Drum Dial for fine tuning my drums and have the batter head tuned at 75 while the resonant head is tuned slightly tighter at 76.
This is the best my bass drum on this particular kit has ever sounded. Yes, the type of head makes a huge difference as well as how you tune the drum. My set is made from birch wood and has an overall fantastic very tonal sound all around the set.
Now get this................I am really quite proud of the sound I get from my snare drum (Ludwig Bronze Supraphonic 6 1/2 X 14) but when your bass drum is tuned to that "thud" sound yet has all the
attack you could ever want when striking it.........which the
Evans head now gives it........................your snare drum sounds even better ....... must have something to do with one sound over another and how they co-mingle.
Anyway, I am very happy with my
Evans EMAD 2 head.............
