The Korena take

A 20-inch clear batter head for the beater side of a bass drum. For kits with a 20-inch kick that need a fresh playing head.

Product studyAquarian Force I Bass Drum Batter Head Clear 20 in.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a worn or dented 20-inch kick batter head
  • Players who want attack and definition over warmth
  • Budget kit refreshes where the kick sounds dead

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drummers wanting a soft, muffled, pre-dampened thud
  • Anyone with an 18, 22 or 24-inch kick
  • Use as a front head — this is the beater side

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Batter head

Goes on the side the pedal beater strikes, not the front logo side facing the audience.

Detail 02

Clear film

No coating, so more attack and sustain and less warmth than a coated or white head.

Detail 03

20 in.

Head diameter must match your drum's shell size exactly. Measure the shell, not the old hoop.

Detail 04

Bass drum specific

Built for beater impact in one spot, unlike tom heads that take strikes across the whole surface.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Head only — no muffling pillow, dampening ring, tuning key or beater patch
  2. 02Measure your shell diameter; 20-inch kicks and 22-inch kicks look similar
  3. 03A clear kick head usually needs internal muffling to control ring

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does this go on the front or the back of the bass drum?

The back — the batter side your pedal beater hits. The front head facing the audience is a separate resonant head.

02Will it fit a 22-inch bass drum?

No. This is 20 inch and drum heads do not stretch to fit. You need a head matching your shell diameter.

03Do I need a beater patch with it?

One is not included. A patch is worth adding, since the beater wears through the film at a single point over time.

04Will it sound boomy?

Clear film gives attack and sustain. If you want a tighter, shorter note, add a pillow or blanket inside the drum.
