22" EMAD Heavyweight Bass Drum : You get what you pay for

I purchased this kick head 1 year ago, and I am more than pleased.

I play hard rock, so my kickdrum get a beating every time I gig or practice.

This head is very strong, offers a great and natural kick sound. I've mounted it on my Sonor Force 2000 kit, and would never consider getting anything else.

For my kickdrum sound the major problem was always the unwanted resonance and the need for extra muffling. I have a pillow inside my kickdrum, and the added muffling from the ring that comes with this head brings out the perfect tone I expect from my kit.

The head itself is of very high quality, but I would never hit it without some sort of protection (see the Remo Falam Slam or the Danmar equivalent)

All in all, a great sounding, great feeling, and very strong kickdrum head.
