Evans GMAD Clear Bass Drum Head, 22 Inch

Big, punchy bass drum sound that lasts. The Evans GMAD Clear 22-inch is a bass drum batter head for heavy hitters. It is made from a single 12 mil ply of film – a thicker version of the original 10 mil EMAD – so it lasts longer under a heavy foot while keeping the feel, punch and power of a single-ply head.

Why customers choose it

• Built for heavy feet: 12 mil single-ply film gives extended life.
• Dial in your tone: the Externally Mounted Adjustable Damping (EMAD) system lets you change the foam ring to control attack and focus.
• Modern kick sound: moderately defined attack, short sustain and a semi-dark tone.
• Easy to tune: Level 360 Technology helps the head sit evenly on the bearing edge.
• Single-ply feel: lively response under the beater.

Who it is for

Rock, metal, pop and worship drummers who play hard and want a controlled, punchy kick without stuffing the drum, and studio drummers who want quick tone adjustment.
