Detail 01
Resonant, not batter
Mounts on the front, the side no beater touches. It shapes decay and what the mic hears, not stick feel.

EVANSEMAD Resonant Bass Drum Head - 26 in.
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 26-inch front head for a bass drum. Replaces a worn or rattling resonant side on large-format kicks. Not a batter head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a torn or buzzing front head on a 26-inch kick
- Big rock or worship kits miked from the front
- Restoring a vintage 26 that came without a front head
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Any bass drum that is not 26 inches
- Use as a batter head — wrong side of the drum
- Drummers who also need the batter replaced this trip
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
26 in.
Matches the shell diameter, not the hoop. A 26 head will not stretch onto a 24 or fit loosely on a 28.
Detail 03
Single head
One head only. Changing both sides of the kick means buying a batter head as a separate item.
Detail 04
Bass drum head, not a tom head
Built for the low tension and long throw of a kick. Tom heads are not interchangeable at this size.
Detail 05
$69.99
Front heads take no stick contact, so this is closer to a once-per-drum expense than a consumable.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure across the shell, inside the hoop, to confirm 26 inches before ordering
- 02A batter head is a separate purchase if you are doing both sides
- 03Keep a drum key handy and retension evenly in a star pattern
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a 24-inch bass drum?
No. Bass drum heads are sized to the shell diameter. This one fits 26-inch bass drums only.
02Can I use it as a batter head?
No. Resonant heads go on the front, the side the beater never strikes. Put a proper batter head under the pedal.
03How do I measure my bass drum?
Measure straight across the top of the shell, inside the hoop. Do not include the hoop or the old head's rim.
04How often does a front head need replacing?
Rarely. Nothing strikes it, so it outlasts batter heads by years. Replace it when torn, dented, or rattling at the seating.
