Evans BD22EMAD 22" Clear Bass Drum Head with Level 360 Technology

The Evans BD22EMAD is widely considered the industry standard for the working drummer. Constructed from a single ply of 10mil film, this 22-inch head provides a perfect balance of power, punch, and low-end resonance. The EMAD (Externally Mounted Adjustable Damping) system offers unparalleled versatility, making it a "go-to" choice for any musical genre, from jazz to heavy rock. Engineered and manufactured in the USA, this head is designed to withstand the rigors of constant performance while delivering professional-grade sound.

Adjustable Damping & Level 360 Innovation

The core of this head is the EMAD Design, which allows you to customize your sound without removing the head from the drum. By switching between the two included foam damping rings, you can shift from a resonant, punchy tone to a focused, aggressive attack. Furthermore, Evans' Level 360 technology ensures an even fit around the bearing edge, providing an extended pitch range and making the drum significantly easier to tune, even at lower tensions.

Choose Your Focus

Utilize the thin foam ring for focused resonance, or swap to the wider foam ring to maximize low-end thump and attack. No tape or internal muffling required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main advantage of the EMAD system over internal pillows?
The EMAD system allows you to change the muffling from the outside of the drum. This means you can adjust your sound for different rooms or songs in seconds without having to take the head off or reach inside the drum.

Does Level 360 really make a difference in tuning?
Yes. Many standard heads have a "stiff" collar that doesn't sit flat on the drum shell. Level 360 heads seat themselves naturally, which eliminates wrinkles and allows the head to vibrate more purely at all tension levels.

Should I choose the Clear or Coated version?
The Clear version (BD22EMAD) provides a brighter attack and more "slap." If you are looking for a slightly warmer tone with more mid-range focus, you might prefer the Coated version.
