5He likes it!!  Jun 29, 2010 By A. Apars "Oakville"
Since I am an old lady, I can't properly review this drumhead. I bought it for my daughter's boyfriend who plays in a very heavy metal band. However, I am pleased to announce that he is very happy with it. He really likes the response to his double kick and the sound is definitely what he is looking for with his genre of music. We added a kickport to the bass and he's in heaven.

5Awesome  Jun 16, 2010 By Peter J. Grimm "Big Drums"
EVERYONE tells me that my kick sounds better than any kick they've ever heard. It has this full, thick WHUUUMP that is exactly the sound you think of when you think "awesome kick sound".

5Evans EMAD2 Bass Drum Batter  Feb 18, 2010 By Larry Bishov

5awesome kick drum batter head  Mar 18, 2012 By Matt
This kick drum head is amazing. I've been using a lousy stock head for a few years now, wanted to upgrade. After a lot of reviews read, I decided on the EMAD2. It seems there are few out there who do not like it. It sounds great, has that nice thump I didn't get before. The interchangeable foam dampening rings are easy enough to change out if desired. I'm not a die hard Remo or Evans fan, just looking for great sound. This head delivers.

4Finally, the kick sound I was looking for  Jun 03, 2011 By DrummerBoyInCalif
I play on a church band, playing mostly Hillsong/Passion music.

I've been toying around with different heads and dampening methods for my kit, but the kick drum by far has been the most difficult to tinker with. With traditional heads, I tried several schemes with commercial dampening gear and also by taping things (a small towel, foam, even diapers) to the inside of my kick batter head -- which sort of did the trick, but the sound was still lacking. If I started pounding on the kick, it sounded too "rubbery" or "boing-y", which was a shame given the decent shells I have.

Putting a pillow inside and mic-ing the drum was an option I did not like--the pillow choked the sound too much and the kick did not sound lively. Sure you can add all the enhancement you want with a mic, but sitting behind the drums the kick seemed underpowered compared to the rest of the kit. The sound tech may like the pillow/mic option, but hey, it's gotta sound good to the guy playing the drums.

Then I tried the EMAD2 -- boy, I should have done it years ago. My kick now has the sound I've been trying to make. It's got a nicely defined, punchy "thud" to it with a short, controlled sustain while not losing the volume you'd expect from a 22-inch barrel. All this in a neat package that requires no additional dampening. It's an added bonus to be able to see the uncluttered insides of the kick drum.

The kit sounds much more balanced now, and it's a joy to hear the kick again and again. The bass player on the band used to complain that my kick sounded too mushy and was difficult to hear over the mix, but he noticed the improvements right away.

If you can, go give it a try at a local music store -- I'm pretty sure a decent store has a kit or two on display with this head on it (the choice of heads & tuning make a far greater difference in the overall sound than the material of the shells). You can compare it with other bass drums as well...
