Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 20-inch two-ply clear bass drum batter head. For kick drums needing a durable head with short, controlled decay.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing the beater-side head on a 20-inch kick drum
- Drummers who dent or break thin kick heads
- Players wanting less boom and a tighter kick sound
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone chasing long, open bass drum sustain
- Kick drums sized 22 inches or anything other than 20
- Marching bass drums, which use marching-specific heads
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
Clear
Untextured film. Brighter attack than a coated head and shows beater marks over time.
Detail 03
Batter head
Goes on the pedal side. The front resonant head is a separate purchase.
Detail 04
20 in.
Matches a 20-inch shell. Measure the shell diameter, not the hoop.
Detail 05
No built-in muffling ring
Damping comes from a pillow, blanket, or external muffler you add inside the drum.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Batter side only. No front head, port, or muffling included.
- 02A drum key is needed to seat and tension it evenly.
- 03A beater patch is worth adding; bare film wears where the beater strikes.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a 20 inch bass drum?
Yes, if the shell measures 20 inches. Bass drum heads are sized by shell diameter, so measure the shell rather than the hoop.
02Which side does this go on?
The batter side, facing the pedal beater. The front head you see from the audience is a separate resonant head.
03Do I still need a pillow inside?
Depends on the sound you want. The two-ply film already shortens decay, but internal damping goes further if you want a tight, dry kick.
04Clear or coated for a kick drum?
Clear gives a more direct attack. Coated warms the attack slightly. This is the clear version, which is the more common kick choice.
