Description
Dark Looks. Deeper Tone. Serious Control.
The EMAD Onyx is built for drummers who want their bass drum to hit hard and sound massive, while still maintaining control and definition. The matte black Onyx film enhances attack while rounding off high frequencies, producing a darker tone than standard clear or coated heads. The result is a focused, punchy bass response with serious low-end impact.
The included EMAD system allows quick changes to sustain and tone with two interchangeable foam dampening rings. Whether you’re dialing in for a short, dry thud or a more open, booming sound, the EMAD Onyx gives you flexible control without extra gear.
Evans’ Level 360 Technology™ ensures a perfect fit, making tuning easier and more stable, even under high-performance demands.
Why Choose the Evans EMAD Onyx Bass Drumhead?
If you’re after a visually bold, sonically dark bass drumhead with customizable tone and unbeatable punch, the EMAD Onyx delivers. It’s a powerful choice for drummers who want their kick to sound as big and bold as it looks.
Play heavy. Sound darker. Make your mark with the Evans EMAD Onyx.
