Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A 33-inch marching-size Evans head. Buy it if you already know your shell measures 33 inches and you need a direct replacement.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a worn head on an existing 33-inch drum
  • Marching or large-format bass drum maintenance between seasons
  • Keeping a spare on hand for a gigging kit

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Standard drum kits — no kit drum is 33 inches
  • Snare or tom replacement, which use much smaller sizes
  • Anyone unsure of their shell 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

33 in. diameter

Measure the shell itself, not the old head's hoop. A half-inch off and it will not seat.

Detail 02

Batter/ES ET series head

Sized for large marching-format drums rather than anything in a standard five-piece kit.

Detail 03

Single head, not a pack

One head only. A drum with a batter and resonant side needs two purchases to match.

Detail 04

Price near $134

Large-diameter heads cost several times a tom head. Budget for that when planning a full re-head.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure the bare shell diameter before ordering — head sizing is unforgiving
  2. 02No drum key, tuning hardware, or hoop included
  3. 03Bed the head in and retune after the first hour of playing

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Will this fit my bass drum?

Only if the shell measures 33 inches across. Standard kit bass drums run 18 to 26 inches, so this will not fit them.

02Does this come with anything else?

It is the head alone. Hoops, tension rods, and a drum key are not included.

03How do I measure for the right size?

Remove the old head and measure the shell's outside diameter, edge to edge, at its widest point. That number is your head size.

04Do I need to replace both sides?

No. The batter side wears first and can be changed on its own. Replacing both at once just gives a more even sound.
