EVANS EQ3 Batter Clear Bass Drum Head 22 in.

in use now

For my kick drum

I'm 16, play double bass pedal. I love metal, and if you're even just looking and happen to find this bass head, GET IT! Its has an amazing attack and response. Even though the head is clear, there's no extra tone like when you hit a tom. It says Rock and Gospel on the package, but it's for all genres except for jazz really. I love this bass head an would ABSOLUTLY recommend this! Like I said earlier, it only comes with one drum patch, so you'll need to buy another one if you have a double bass pedal.

I kick, it goes "boom"

I use this head on 20, 22, and 24" bass drums, and I own many kits. It blows away other drum heads I've used in the past, especially for live playing situations. I use it on maple, birch, and combination wood basses, with great results. Incredible boom. Deep powerful tone, and with the removable ring installed (I never romove it), I get a sustain that lasts about one full second. High pitched overtones are eliminated. I use the bass drum staight, with no muffling or pillows, no felt strips across the head, nothing inside the drum. It's the chest thumping dream come true, but the secret is the resonant side head. I use an EQ1 type head on the reso side, and no holes! This reso head is a single ply with one tone control ring integrated into it. The combination is MAGIC. Anything other than this combo and you won't get the power. I use an EMAD head for recording because I need the extra muffling the foam ring provides for sustain control. Otherwise I get too much volume and too long of a sustain time, making recordings muddy. But live, the EQ3 is the BOSS! Use it on 22" and larger sizes with my recommended reso head and you won't believe your ears. (On my 20" basses the tone only gets so deep, but still better than any other head.) Just gotta tune the reso way down, almost loose, and the EQ3 batter not too tight. Just tune it tight enough to get good beater bounce, and you'll hear the magic.
