Detail 01
Resonant head
Goes on the front of the kick, the side you don't hit. It shapes decay and projection, not attack.

EvansEQ3 Black Resonant Bass Drum Head - 22 in.
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
22-inch resonant (front) head for a bass drum, in black. Replacement front head for a standard 22" kick, not a batter head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn or torn front head on a 22" kick
- Drummers wanting a darker, more controlled kick sound
- Kits where the front head faces the audience
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing the batter head — this is the resonant side
- Kicks that are not 22 inches
- Drummers who want a fully open, resonant kick
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
22 in.
Sized to a 22" kick shell. Head size is the drum's stated diameter, so a 20" or 24" kick won't fit.
Detail 03
EQ3 series
Evans' bass-drum-specific line, built around controlled sustain rather than long open ring.
Detail 04
Black
Cosmetic on a front head, which is the visible face of the kit. Darker than a clear or coated front.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Ports must be cut yourself unless the head comes pre-ported — check before ordering
- 02Head only. No hoop, lugs, tension rods, or muffling included
- 03You'll need a drum key to detension the old head and seat the new one
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the head I hit or the front head?
The front. Resonant means the non-batter side. You still need a separate batter head for the side the pedal strikes.
02What size kick does this fit?
A 22-inch bass drum. Measure your shell diameter — head sizes match the drum's stated size, not the head's outer hoop.
03Does it come with a hole in it?
Not stated here. If you want a port for mic placement or air release, plan to cut one yourself with a port hole cutter.
04Will this change how my kick sounds?
Yes. The resonant head controls sustain and how the note decays. It won't change attack much — that's the batter head's job.
