Information

This Evans EMAD Onyx 18" Bass Drum Batter Head is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Evans EMAD Onyx combines the renowned performance of the original EMAD system with a sleek black Onyx finish, making it one of the most popular choices for drummers looking for a powerful, punchy and highly controllable bass drum sound. Designed to deliver impressive low-end response and focused attack, the EMAD Onyx allows drummers to achieve a professional kick drum tone with minimal effort, whether on stage, in the studio or in the rehearsal room.

At the heart of the design is Evans' revolutionary Externally Mounted Adjustable Damping (EMAD) system, which allows players to tailor the amount of sustain and overtone control using interchangeable damping rings fitted directly to the outside of the head. This means you can quickly move from a more open, resonant sound to a tighter, punchier response without removing the drum head or adding internal muffling. On an 18" bass drum, the EMAD Onyx helps maximise low-end presence whilst maintaining excellent definition and attack.

Constructed from a durable single-ply film, the EMAD Onyx offers a responsive feel and impressive durability, making it a favourite amongst drummers across a wide range of musical styles. The black Onyx finish also gives your bass drum a modern, professional appearance whilst retaining the performance characteristics that have made the EMAD one of the best-selling bass drum batter heads available today.
