Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 22-inch frosted EQ3 bass drum head. Buy it to replace the front or batter head on a standard 22-inch kick.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Re-heading a standard 22-inch bass drum
- Drummers wanting a controlled, punchy kick rather than boomy
- Kits where the old kick head is dented or dead
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- 20-inch or 24-inch bass drums
- Players who want a fully open, long-sustaining kick
- Anyone needing a ported front head out of the box
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
Frosted finish
Textured rather than clear film. Slightly warmer attack, and the beater mark shows less than on a clear head.
Detail 03
22 in.
Shell diameter. The most common kick size, but it will not stretch onto a 20 or 24.
Detail 04
Bass drum head
Heavier and larger than a tom head. It handles beater impact, so it is not interchangeable with tom sizes.
Detail 05
$56.99
Roughly double a tom head. Kick heads are bigger and thicker, so budget accordingly when re-heading a whole kit.
Detail 06
Single head
Covers one side. A full kick changeover needs a second head for the front.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only — the opposite side of the kick is a separate purchase
- 02No port hole cut; you would cut one yourself if you want mic access
- 03A 22-inch head is heavy to seat evenly; tension slowly in a star pattern
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Front head or batter head?
EQ3 covers bass drum use. Decide by which side of your kick needs replacing, and buy the matching head for the other side separately.
02Is there a hole for a microphone?
No port is pre-cut. You would need to cut one yourself, ideally with a proper hole cutter to avoid tearing the film.
03Will this fit a 20-inch kick?
No. Bass drum heads are size-specific. A 22-inch head will not tension correctly on a 20-inch shell.
04Do I need anything else to fit it?
A drum key, and time. Remove the hoop, seat the head flat, then bring the lugs up evenly rather than tightening one side first.
