Detail 01
Two-ply construction
Two layers of film absorb overtones and take more abuse, so the note is shorter, darker and the head lasts longer.

AquarianPerformance II Drum Head - 22 in.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Two-ply drum head in a 22-inch size. Built for drummers who hit hard and want a shorter, darker note with less ring.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Heavy hitters who split single-ply heads too often
- Loud rock and metal settings where overtones get in the way
- Drummers wanting a fat, short note without added muffling
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz and light-touch players needing sensitivity at low volume
- Anyone chasing long sustain and open ring
- Drummers who prefer bright attack over dark thud
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 02
22 in. size
Fits a 22-inch drum. On most kits that is the bass drum, since toms rarely reach this diameter.
Detail 03
Aquarian hoop
Safe-T-Loc design locks the film into the collar, so it holds tension without pulling free as you tune up.
Detail 04
No built-in muffle ring
Damping comes from the second ply alone, so it stays more open than a ring-muffled head of the same thickness.
Detail 05
Batter head
Meant for the side you strike. It sets feel and attack; the resonant head on the other side controls sustain.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only — no tuning key or resonant head included
- 02Measure across your shell, not the hoop, to confirm 22 inches
- 03Two-ply reduces stick response, so light ghost notes speak less clearly
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What size drum does a 22 in. head fit?
A 22-inch drum, measured across the shell with the old head removed. On a standard kit that diameter is the bass drum.
02Is Performance II one ply or two?
Two ply. The extra layer shortens sustain, darkens the tone and makes the head far more durable than a single-ply.
03Does it have a built-in muffle ring?
No. Control comes from the two-ply construction itself. If you want it drier still, add a gel pad or a strip of tape near the edge.
04Will this work for heavy playing?
Yes. Two-ply heads are the standard choice for hard hitters. The second layer of film resists denting and pitting far better than a single ply.
