Been playing these for years, along with the EC2's for the rest of the kit. With a bit of tuning/damping/beater adjustment, I've yet to find anything the EMAD2 can't do.
From clicky techdeath doublekick to downtempo ballads on session work, I only need one model of kick head. Typically I only replace them when there's too much irremovable adhesive from click-patches that get shredded by wooden beaters in metal playing, I haven't ever actually broken an EMAD with a protective patch.
That's saying something, because before switching to these I was frequently putting my beaters through kickdrum heads (either single-ply or other brands.)
