Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a dented or dead 22 in. bass drum head
  • Players wanting a slightly drier, less open kick sound
  • Keeping a spare head in the hardware case

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Any bass drum that is not 22 in.
  • Drummers chasing a bright, wide-open, ringing kick tone
  • Anyone hoping for a head that needs no muffling

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

22 in.

Measured across the shell, not the hoop. A 22 head will not stretch onto a 20 or 24.

Detail 02

Coated

The textured surface takes a little top end and sustain off compared to a bare film, so attack reads warmer.

Detail 03

Bass drum head

Built for kick tension and beater impact, not tom or snare use. Thicker feel than a batter head off a rack tom.

Detail 04

Around $50

Standard single-head replacement pricing. Re-heading both sides of the kick means buying two.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure the shell, not the old head's hoop, before ordering
  2. 02Muffling, pillows and impact patches are not included
  3. 03You will need a drum key and time to seat the tension evenly

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Will this fit my 22 inch kick?

Yes, if the shell measures 22 in. across. Measure the shell diameter itself — hoops and wraps make a drum read larger than its head size.

02Do I need muffling with it?

Most players add some. A pillow or a felt strip inside the drum controls the low end; the head alone will still have sustain.

03Is one head enough to re-head my bass drum?

Only one side. A bass drum takes a batter head and a front head, so a full change means two heads.

04How does coated differ from clear on a kick?

Coating damps a little high end and shortens ring, giving a slightly warmer, more controlled thump. Clear stays brighter and more open.
