Evans EMAD Resonant Black 24" Ported Bass Drum Head | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Evans EMAD Resonant Black BD24REMAD is a 24" single-ply resonant bass drum head bringing the full versatility of Evans' Externally Mounted Adjustable Damping system to large-format kick drums. Built on 10-mil synthetic film with a factory-cut 4" mic port and an adjustable foam damping ring mounted via an external plastic sleeve, the EMAD Resonant gives players hands-on control over sustain, attack, and overtone character on a grand scale. Whether you're pushing air in a large venue, tracking in the studio, or simply running a big kit that demands a front head equal to its size, the BD24REMAD delivers.
Product Overview
A 24" bass drum is a statement instrument — built for players who want maximum low-end depth, room-filling resonance, and the kind of physical presence that smaller kicks simply can't produce. The EMAD Resonant Black rises to meet that scale, providing the tonal flexibility to shape a 24" kick's naturally expansive sound into something focused, controlled, and mix-ready. The externally mounted foam damping ring adjusts around the 4" port to dial in precisely the amount of overtone control and pitch focus the player and the room require — tighten the decay for a punchy, defined attack in dense mixes, or open it up to let the drum's full resonance breathe in larger acoustic spaces.
The 4" mic port is factory-cut and ready for standard kick drum microphone placement without modification — a practical necessity for live engineers and studio recordists working with a drum of this size. The EMAD ring system mounts externally around the port opening, keeping it fully accessible regardless of damping configuration. The 10-mil single-ply synthetic film provides the body and structural integrity needed to hold tuning reliably on a 24" shell, while remaining acoustically open enough to let the drum's natural low-frequency depth develop fully.
The clean black finish completes the package with a sharp, professional front-of-kit appearance that photographs and performs well under any lighting condition.
Ideal For
- Large-format kit players running 24" bass drums who need a front head with the tonal flexibility to match the drum's expansive sound

- Live drummers and touring players who need a mic-ready front head with a standard 4" port and adjustable damping for varying room sizes and stage volumes
- Studio recording drummers capturing the full character of a 24" kick who want session-to-session tonal control without changing heads
- Drummers in Idaho Falls looking for a premium large-format resonant bass drum head with Evans' industry-trusted EMAD damping system
