Strong match

Who this is for

  • Fronting a 22" bass drum in rock, country, blues, or R&B
  • Drummers who want a tight, controlled note instead of long boom
  • Replacing a beat-up or logo-worn front head

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drummers chasing long, open, resonant sustain
  • Anyone needing the batter side — this is the front head only
  • Non-standard shells; it's cut for a 22" diameter

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

Goes on the front of the bass drum, away from the pedal. It shapes decay and projection, not the initial attack.

Detail 02

Very focused sustain

The note stops relatively quickly. Less ring to fight in a mix, less boom in a big room.

Detail 03

Very warm tone

Low end sits fuller and rounder, with less high-end slap than a brighter, more open front head.

Detail 04

Coated white

Opaque with a textured finish. The classic front-head look, and a surface a logo or graphic sits on cleanly.

Detail 05

Mylar film

Standard drum head plastic. Consistent tuning behavior and stable across temperature and humidity swings.

Detail 06

22"

Matches a 22" shell diameter, the most common kit bass drum size. Measure the shell, not the hoop.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Front head only — you still need a batter head for the pedal side
  2. 02Cutting a port is permanent; decide on mic placement before mounting
  3. 03No drum key, muffling pillow, or logo included

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Which side does the resonant head go on?

The front, facing the audience. The batter head goes on the pedal side where the beater strikes. They're different heads and sold separately.

02Will this fit my 22 inch kick?

Yes, if the shell measures 22" across. Measure the top of the shell itself rather than the hoop or the old head's outer ring.

03Does it come with a hole for a mic?

Plan on cutting a port yourself if you need one. Use a proper port hole cutter and a reinforcement ring, and mark placement before you cut.

04Will this make my kick sound boomy?

The opposite. Sustain here is very focused and the tone runs warm, so you get a shorter, rounder note rather than a long ringing boom.
