Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Clear batter head for a 24 in. bass drum, with built-in damping. For kick drums that need punch without extra pillows or tape.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Rehading a 24 in. kick for rock, pop, or live gigs
  • Players wanting a focused, pre-controlled kick sound
  • Replacing a worn batter that has lost its punch

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone chasing a wide-open, fully resonant jazz kick
  • 22 in. or 26 in. drums — this size is not adjustable
  • Front-head replacement; this goes on the beater side

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.

EVANS EQ4 Batter Clear Bass Drum Head 24 in. construction detail

Detail 01

Batter head

Beater side. The front head, the one facing the audience with the port, is a separate purchase.

Detail 02

Clear film

More attack and low-end punch than coated. Beater strike reads clearly in a mix.

Detail 03

Built-in damping (EQ4)

Control is built into the head, so you need less internal muffling. Some drummers still add a small pillow for studio work.

Detail 04

24 in. size

Matches a 24 in. shell diameter. Bass drum heads do not stretch to cover a size mismatch.

Detail 05

Single head, not a pack

A full kick reheading needs this plus a front resonant head.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure the shell, not the hoop — 24 in. heads only fit 24 in. drums
  2. 02No front head, muffling pillow, or impact patch included
  3. 03Add a beater patch if you use a hard plastic or wood beater

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 beater side. It is a batter head. The front resonant head, the one with the port hole, is a separate item.

02Do I still need a pillow inside?

Often not. The EQ4 has damping built in. If you want a very tight studio thud, a small pillow touching the batter will get you there.

03Will this fit a 22 in. bass drum?

No. Bass drum heads are sized to the shell diameter. A 24 in. head only fits a 24 in. drum.

04Do I need an impact patch?

Recommended with hard plastic or wood beaters, which wear through film at the strike point. Felt beaters are gentler but a patch still adds life.
