I was in a local studio last night helping the owner record a rock band's
demo and he had this great bass drum sound on his studio's birch starclassic
set. A real tight crisp thump...

I had to check it out - he was using the evans emad heads with the muffle
rings installed (that with an audix d6). Sounded great - is any using these
heads/rings?

Are there other brands that offer a ring or muffle sytem like the emad that
can be bought seperate from the heads. I'm using the pillow system now :)...

Remo makes a foam Muffle ring that can be applied separately if I remember
correctly

For the record I use Evans EQ1 heads and a chunk of foam the depth of the
kik drum and 1/3 the circumference laid across the bottom of the drum.

The Eq heads have a built in ring that's not removable right? I have a 24"
bass (maple) that can get a bit boomy - does the eq combo with the foam get
you that twack (for rock)?

Hey Rich,

I have a Pearl BRX Masters Studio Birch kit in my studio and I've been
really happy with the Aquarian Super-Kick I head. It uses a felt ring
attached to the inside of the head. The front head is a an Evans black
single ply with about a 6" offset hole. This set-up with a single D6 about
6" in the hole and angled toward the beater, and I very rarely have to use
any EQ. Big and round rock sound. I find I usually have enough "click", but
if not, a little EQ or a second beater mic does the trick. I use Evans G2's
on the toms and Evans Genera Dry's on the snare. I'm going to try the emad
head also. Thanks for the info.

Tony
