Detail 01
Resonant head
Mounts on the front of the bass drum, not the pedal side. It shapes decay and projection, not attack.

1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 18-inch resonant (front) head for a bass drum, coated white. For drummers replacing the front head on a compact kit or seeking a shorter, drier note.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small-kit players running an 18-inch bass drum
- Drummers wanting a controlled, short bass note without heavy muffling
- Studio setups where a boomy front head causes mix problems
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a batter head — this is the front side
- Drummers with 20, 22 or 24-inch bass drums
- Players chasing long, open sustain and low-end bloom
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
18 in.
Must match your bass drum shell diameter exactly. An 18-inch drum needs an 18-inch head, no substitutions.
Detail 03
Coated finish
The textured surface dampens high overtones slightly compared to a clear head, warming the note.
Detail 04
Mylar
Standard drumhead film. Predictable stretch and tuning behavior, holds pitch once it settles in.
Detail 05
Very focused sustain
The note dies quickly rather than ringing on. Less internal muffling needed inside the drum.
Detail 06
Made in USA
Consistent film gauge and hoop seating from head to head, so replacements tune up the same way.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell, not the old head — bass drum sizes are easy to misread
- 02Sold as a single head. No hoop, lugs or muffling included
- 03Ported or unported is your call — cutting a hole changes the sound permanently
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this go on the front or the beater side?
The front. Resonant heads face the audience and are not struck. The batter head takes the pedal beater and is a separate purchase.
02Will this fit a 20-inch bass drum?
No. Drumheads are sized to the shell diameter. An 18-inch head only fits an 18-inch bass drum.
03Do I need to cut a port hole in it?
Not required. A port lets you place a mic inside and shortens sustain further. Uncut gives more resonance and low end.
04Is any muffling included?
You get the head only. Any internal pillow or damping you want to add is separate.
