EvansEQ Double Bass Drum Patch - Clear
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A clear impact patch for the bass drum batter head, sized for two beaters. For anyone running a double pedal or twin pedal setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Double pedal players wearing through the batter head fast
- Protecting a new bass drum head before the first gig
- Metal and punk drummers hitting hard with plastic beaters
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Single pedal setups, where a single-width patch covers it
- Drummers wanting a tone change rather than head protection
- Anyone whose beaters strike far apart, off the patch
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
Clear
Nearly disappears on a clear head and stays subtle on white or coated ones.
Detail 03
Patch, not a pad
Thin enough to protect the head without adding the click a hard plastic pad gives.
Detail 04
Sticks to the head, not the hoop
It rides on the batter head, so it comes off when you change heads.
Detail 05
$7.95
Costs a fraction of a bass drum head, which is the whole point of using one.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One patch per head. Buy spares if you change heads often.
- 02Clean the head first; dust and grease stop it sticking.
- 03Place it before playing. Repositioning after wear leaves a mark.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work with a single pedal?
It will, but it is wider than you need. A single-width patch is the closer fit if you only run one beater.
02Does it change the bass drum sound?
Minimally. It adds a small amount of attack at the beater spot. Hard plastic impact pads change tone far more than this does.
03Can I move it after sticking it down?
Not cleanly. Line up both beater strike points before pressing it on, since removal usually leaves residue or lifts the head's finish.
04What beaters does it protect against?
Any of them, but it matters most with hard plastic and wood beaters, which cut into a batter head quickest. Felt beaters wear heads slower.
