Evans GMAD 22" Clear Bass Drum Head

The Evans GMAD 22” Clear Bass Drum Head is engineered for drummers who demand durability without sacrificing single-ply character. Built from a single 12mil ply of film, this batter head resists the wear that heavy-footed players inflict while retaining the responsive feel and punch synonymous with thinner heads. Evans' design philosophy centres on extending head life through material science rather than adding unnecessary bulk–a critical advantage for touring and studio players working through high-volume sessions.

Sonically, the GMAD delivers a moderately defined attack with short sustain and semi-dark tone, making it well-suited to genres demanding controlled low-end definition. The 12mil construction provides measurable durability gains over standard single-ply alternatives, whilst Level 360 Technology expands tuning range and stabilises pitch across the head's circumference for easier tensioning. The ability to pair this batter with Evans' EMAD resonant head grants players real tonal flexibility–a practical advantage when chasing specific kick character across different venues or recording scenarios. All Evans drumheads are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA.
