Detail 01
Resonant head
Goes on the front of the kick, away from the pedal. It shapes sustain and projection, not the initial attack.

EvansEQ3 Black Resonant Bass Drum Head - 20 in.
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 20-inch black resonant front head for a bass drum. For drummers who want a controlled, punchy kick sound and a black front head look.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a torn or dull front head on a 20-inch kick
- Getting a tighter, more focused kick without internal muffling
- Kits where you want a plain black front instead of a logo head
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a long, open, boomy kick sound
- Drummers needing a beater-side head — this is the front
- 22-inch or 18-inch bass drums
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
20 inch
Matches a 20-inch bass drum shell. Head diameter follows the drum, not the depth.
Detail 03
Black finish
Cosmetic, and it hides the drum interior. Plain black instead of a printed logo panel.
Detail 04
EQ3 series
Evans bass drum line built around controlled resonance, so the note stays tight rather than ringing out.
Detail 05
Front head, no port
If you need mic access inside the drum, you will have to cut or order a ported version.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check whether you need a port hole for micing — cutting one is permanent
- 02A drum key is required and not included
- 03This is the front head only; the batter side is a separate purchase
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this have a hole for a microphone?
This is the solid version. If you mic inside the drum, you'll need to cut a port yourself or buy a pre-ported head.
02Front or beater side?
Front. Resonant means the head opposite your pedal. It does not take beater impact.
03Will it fit a 22-inch bass drum?
No. This is 20 inches and fits 20-inch bass drums only.
04Will this make my kick punchier?
It's designed to control sustain, so the note is shorter and more focused than an open resonant head. Tuning and batter choice matter too.
