I'm using a Pearl Forum, and when I tried an EMAD last summer I had very weird results. I think it can mostly be blamed on my reso head, which was 4 years old at the time with a makeshift port that I gouged out using a razorblade (random cuts make things sound better, right?). My bass drum lost all its presence, and sounded more like a fart than a punch. I went back to a Superkick 1 and was much happier. Also, replacing the resonant head last week was a huge improvement.
I've never had great success tuning my kick drum - what methods do people here swear by?

I used the EQ3 batter and the EQ2 resonant with the radiator slits for the resonant for years. I recently switched to the EMAD using the small ring only and the standard Evans front head from the GMS factory. I also use a Danmar cradle instead of spurs on my GMS SE 20x16. BIG SOUND!! The bass is stand alone because I also use a rack.

i've grown tired of all of my evans drum heads, and replaced them back to remo!!! remo rings longer, that's what i like. BUT!!! i kept my evens emad bass drum head on!!! it just sounds perfect to me still !!! i use the larger ring. my reso head is a single ply coated with no hole. just a felt strip used on the reso head! and it's a 20" ludwig usa birch. i too agree, it's the musician not the instrument!

I have been playing with the EMAD on my bass drum for a long time while playing REMO on my other drums. I have since switched the other drums over to Evans EC2.

I agree man, I got an EMAD when they first came out and I will never buy another kind of bd head again! No fancy muffling device even comes close to sounding as good as the emad!
