The EMAD Resonant gives you more control over your bass drum's front-head sound than a standard ported resonant. A single ply of 10mil film carries a foam dampening ring around the edge that tames low-end rumble and tightens up the overall decay, while the offset 4-inch port provides microphone access for clean, isolated kick drum capture.

The black film looks professional on any kit and absorbs stage light rather than reflecting it. Compared to a standard EQ3 resonant, the EMAD version gives you a noticeably more focused sound with less ambient boom. The foam ring does the work that a towel or pillow would otherwise do, but with more consistency and less hassle. If you mic your bass drum regularly and want a controlled, punchy front-of-house sound without stuffing the drum full of blankets, this head simplifies your setup considerably.
