Two 10-mil plies
The double-ply construction is intended for hard-hitting playing.

Independent shopping perspective
Built for an 18-inch bass drum, this clear EMAD Heavyweight batter head combines two 10-mil plies with externally adjustable damping. It delivers a full, controlled bass-drum voice with a compressed response, while the two included ring options let you alter resonance, punch, low end, and sustain from outside the drum. The Level 360 collar is designed to help the head seat and tune quickly—useful when dialing in a focused sound for heavy playing.
