Detail 01
Coated finish
Coating adds a layer of mass, so the note comes out warmer and shorter than a clear head of the same size.

EVANSEMAD Coated Bass Drum Batter Head 26 in.
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 26-inch coated bass drum batter head with adjustable damping. For drummers who want to dial in attack and sustain rather than tape and pillows.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio players who need to change kick tone between songs
- Drummers who want a warm kick without stuffing the shell
- Live rigs where mic'd attack has to stay controlled
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone whose kick is not a 26-inch shell
- Players wanting maximum open ring and no damping
- Tom or snare head replacement
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
Adjustable damping
You change sustain and attack at the head itself instead of adding blankets or gaffer tape inside the shell.
Detail 03
Warm tone
Low fundamental sits forward, high overtones sit back. Blends into a mix without cutting through it.
Detail 04
High durability
Built to take repeated beater strikes and hold tension, so replacement intervals are long.
Detail 05
26 in.
Sized to a 26-inch shell only. A big kick that already runs low; damping keeps the note from washing.
Detail 06
Batter head
Beater side. It controls feel under the foot as much as it controls tone.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell itself — hoop-to-hoop measurements will give you the wrong size
- 02This is the batter side only; the front head is a separate purchase
- 03Set damping after tuning, not before — retune changes how much you need
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between this and the clear version?
The coating adds mass. Coated runs warmer with a shorter decay; clear is brighter with more attack and more ring. Same size and same damping approach.
02Do I still need a pillow inside the drum?
Usually not. The adjustable damping is meant to replace internal muffling. Start with no pillow, then add only if the room is still ringing.
03Will this work on a 24 inch kick?
No. It fits a 26-inch shell. Head diameter has to match the drum.
04How much can I actually change the sound?
Attack, feel and sustain are all adjustable at the head. Tuning still sets the pitch — damping controls how long the note hangs and how hard it hits.
