Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Clear single-ply 22-inch bass drum batter head with a built-in muffling ring and a removable damping pad. For drummers who want a controlled, pre-dampened kick without stuffing the shell.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live rock and pop kits needing a short, punchy kick note
- Drummers who dislike packing pillows or blankets inside the shell
- Recording sessions where a tight, mic-friendly attack is wanted
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz players wanting a long, open, resonant bass drum tone
- Anyone with a 20 or 24 inch kick — this is 22 only
- Drummers who want a warm, muted look from a coated head
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
Built-in muffling ring
Kills overtones at the edge so the note dies fast. Less ring, more thump.
Detail 03
Removable damping pad
You can dial the muffling in or out without opening the drum or repositioning a pillow.
Detail 04
22 inch size
Fits a 22-inch bass drum only. Head size matches the shell diameter, not the hoop.
Detail 05
Batter side
Goes on the side you hit with the pedal, not the front resonant head with the port hole.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01This is one head only — the front resonant head is separate
- 02Measure your shell diameter, not the hoop, before ordering
- 03Plan on a fresh tuning pass; new heads settle and need retensioning
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I still need a pillow inside the drum?
Usually not. The muffling ring and damping pad handle most of the ring. If you want an even deader thud, a small pillow touching the head adds more.
02Is this the front head or the one I kick?
The batter head — the side the pedal beater strikes. The front head with the mic port is a separate purchase.
03Will this fit my 22-inch kick?
Yes, if the shell measures 22 inches across. Head sizing follows shell diameter.
04Can I remove the damping pad?
Yes. It lifts off, which opens the sound up slightly while the muffling ring stays in place.
