Detail 01
Resonant
It faces the audience and shapes sustain and low end. The beater never touches it, so it wears slowly.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 22-inch black resonant bass drum head from Evans. Goes on the front side of a 22-inch kick, opposite the head you actually strike.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a torn or dull front head on a 22-inch kick
- Matching a black front head to black hardware or hoops
- Players who want the front of the kick to look uniform
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- The batter side that takes the beater — this is a resonant head
- Kicks that are not 22 inches across the shell
- Anyone wanting a printed logo or a factory-cut port hole
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.
Measure the shell diameter, not the outer rim of the old head, or the new one will not seat.
Detail 03
Black finish
Cosmetic. Reads as a solid dark front on stage and hides scuffs better than a white head.
Detail 04
Sold as one head
Covers the front only. The batter side is a separate head and a separate purchase.
Detail 05
$51.99
Front heads last for years since nothing strikes them, so this is a rare replacement, not a consumable.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only — no hoop, claws, tension rods or drum key included
- 02Confirm your kick shell measures 22 inches before ordering
- 03If you want a mic port, you will be cutting it yourself
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as my batter head?
It is made for the resonant side. Nothing is stopping you physically, but a beater will wear it far faster than a head built for that job.
02Does it come with a hole cut for a microphone?
Plan on it being solid. If you need a port for a mic or for feel, you would need to cut and ring it yourself.
03Will it fit a 20 inch kick?
No. This is a 22-inch head and needs a 22-inch shell.
04How often should a front head be replaced?
Much less often than a batter head. Replace it when it tears, dents from transport, or the finish gets too beaten up to look right.
