Hi All,
Just thought I'd mention that I've just put an Evans REMAD reso head on my DW 20" bass drum. I've been living with the stock DW reso head since I got my kit, but wanted to try something different. I have an EMAD 2 batter head on the drum. I was surprised at the difference in sound. I've had several folks here write that the stock DW head is one of the best around, and perhaps it's my mind hearing the difference, but I swear there is a significantly improved thump with the REMAD in place. Love the 5" pre-cut port with the foam ring. I think it's cool. Now, all I'm waiting for is the DW sticker to put on it when that arrives (yes, I'm proud enough to want to show that they're DWs, even though the kit never leaves my music room)!
Now, just a tiny bit less than an absolute drum newbie

Yes, sir, that's it.

I thought the name was a little funny sounding at first, had to google to see if there was really a head called "remad". Nice though, i'm guessing it's a re-vamp of one of their other resonant heads?

I used the EMAD reso for a while. I didn't care for it b/c that foam ring fell apart on me pretty quickly. I went to the EQ3 which has a dampening ring around the perimeter of the head and no foam ring. I like it much better.
Yep, I had one and the ring started to split due to the vibration and aging process. It began to produce a noticeable rattle. They shipped me a replacement and I believe the same thing happened. I don't know where that head is now...
I like the Aquarian Regulator as a reso, but not with a Kickport becasue the inner foam ring gets in the way.
What if you used tape to secure the foam ring to the head? Would it become more of a stable and consistent head soundwise?
