What is the difference between Emad and Emad 2?
The EMAD2 features two opposing films (6.5mil and 10mil films) which cancel out a decent amount of mid-to-low frequency response.

What frequency should I tune my drums?
We suggest trying a top head Tune Frequency between 220Hz and 340Hz for a snare drum. Try tuning the bottom head 1,33 to 1,5 times higher (but not higher than 400Hz). Tuning the bass drum is basically the same as tuning toms, with the same top/bottom tuning relationships.
What is a resonant bass drum head?
The Batter head is what you actually strike with your sticks, brushes, mallets, beater or hands. The Resonant drumhead is used on the bottom, or opposite, side of the drum from the batter head. It is called “resonant” because the air column inside the drum resonates off the bottom head, producing sustain and tone.
What key should my drums be tuned to?
