The Drumming Chef Tiger Talk Trainee Reged: Oct 04 2002 Posts: 5 Loc: Michigan EVANS EMAD BASS DRUM HEAD       Sat Oct 05 2002 01:25 AM (68.42.109.55) Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   I own a Slingerland 1970's Vintage drum set purchased new back then ( I am the original owner). For some reason I never replaced the bass drum heads. My son started taking lessons about 6 months ago and I began working on the set to improve the sound. I have always had to put a pillow in the bass drum to improve the sound. I purchased a Evans 22" EMAD bass drum head (beater side), removed the pillow, replaced the head and tuned the drum. I was totally amazed at the improved sound quality. I wanted to keep the original Slingerland Logo head on the front so to further improve the sound I took it to my local drumming professional (Bill Cairo of Cairos drum house also a graduate of Berklee) to have a 6" hole cut in the head and a HOLZ protector ring installed. WOW! Now I have a GREAT sounding bass drum beyond my expectations. This Evans EMAD externally muffled head is the best. It comes with two sizes of foam rings that install on the outside (I use the larger one), the bass drum looks much better without the pillow stuffed inside and the tone is fantastic with a cannon like boom emitting from the 6" hole in the original Slingerland head.
