Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Black adhesive impact patch that sticks to a bass drum batter head where the beater strikes. Cheap insurance against wearing through a head.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Anyone installing a new bass drum batter head
  • Hard hitters who punch through heads at the beater spot
  • Players using wood or hard plastic beaters

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drummers wanting to change their kick tone — this is protection, not tuning
  • Snare or tom heads; it is sized for a bass drum beater spot

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

Adhesive backing

Peel and stick onto a clean head. No hardware, no tools, no tension rod removal.

Detail 02

Impact patch

Takes the beater wear instead of the head film, which is where heads usually fail first.

Detail 03

Black

Blends with black heads and hides beater marks; visible against a clear or white head.

Detail 04

Placement over the beater strike point

Adds a small amount of mass and slight attack click at the contact point.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Apply to a new or clean head — adhesive does not hold well over dust or dents
  2. 02Line it up with your beater height before pressing down; removal can lift film
  3. 03Patch only. Head, beater and drum key not included

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Does a patch change the kick sound?

Slightly. It adds a bit of attack click at the strike point. The change is small compared to the head itself.

02Can I move it after sticking it on?

Not reliably. The adhesive is strong and repositioning can peel the head film. Set beater height first, then apply.

03Do I need one with a felt beater?

Less urgent than with wood or plastic beaters, but felt still wears the film over time. Cheap protection either way.

04Will it fit any bass drum head?

Yes, it applies to any bass drum batter head. Position it wherever your beater actually contacts the head.
