The Korena take

A 24-inch coated white front head for a bass drum. For kick players who want a warm, focused note rather than a long boom.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Rock, country, blues and R&B kits with a 24 inch bass drum
  • Recording where the kick needs to sit tight in the mix
  • Replacing a worn or logo-printed front head

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drummers wanting a long, open, sustaining kick
  • Anyone with a 22 or 20 inch bass drum
  • Players needing the struck batter side replaced

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

Resonant head

This is the front head you do not hit. It shapes decay and projection, not stick feel.

Detail 02

Very focused sustain

The note stops quickly. Good for fast double-kick passages and dense arrangements.

Detail 03

Coated finish

The white coating adds mass and warmth, taking edge off the top end of the kick.

Detail 04

Mylar film

Standard drum head plastic. Predictable tuning and stable pitch as temperature shifts.

Detail 05

24 inch

Matches a 24 inch shell only. Bass drum heads have no adjustment range.

Detail 06

Made in USA

Consistent film thickness and hoop seating batch to batch.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Front head only. Batter head, muffling pillow and mounting hardware are separate.
  2. 02Decide whether you need a port hole cut for miking before installing.
  3. 03Tune this head loose and even; over-tightening the front kills the low end.

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Does this have a hole in it?

Treat it as a solid front head and plan to cut a port yourself if you need mic access. Cutting is permanent, so mark it carefully.

02Batter or resonant?

Resonant. It faces the audience and is not struck. You still need a batter head on the beater side.

03Will it fit a 22 inch kick?

No. Bass drum heads must match shell diameter exactly. A 22 inch drum needs a 22 inch head.

04Why coated instead of clear on the front?

The coating adds mass, which warms the tone and shortens ring. Clear fronts sound brighter and more open.
