Detail 01
22 in. size
Head diameter must match the drum shell exactly. A 22-inch drum takes a 22-inch head, nothing close.

EVANSMX1 Marching Bass Drum Head Black 22 in.
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
22-inch black marching bass drum head for corps and school drumlines. Buy it if you need a replacement batter or resonant head that survives a season outdoors.
Strong match
Who this is for
- School or corps drumline replacing a torn 22-inch bass head
- Outdoor rehearsals where heads take sun, rain and hard mallets
- Matching a black-head look across a bass drum line
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Concert bass drum in an indoor ensemble wanting long open sustain
- Any drum that is not a 22-inch marching bass
- Drop-in kit bass drum use — marching heads sit differently
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
Marching bass drum head
Built thicker and tighter than kit heads to take mallet impact and project across a field.
Detail 03
Black film
Darker surface hides mallet scuffs better than white and cuts glare under stadium lights.
Detail 04
Sold as a single head
One head covers one side. A drum needs two, so a full rehead is two purchases.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell, not the old head, if you are unsure of size
- 02Head only — no hoop, lugs, tension rods or drum key
- 03Reheading both sides means buying two to keep tone even
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit a 22-inch kit bass drum?
It will physically fit a 22-inch shell, but it is built for marching tension and mallets. On a kit it feels stiff and sounds tight under a pedal beater.
02Is this the batter or the resonant side?
It works on either side of a marching bass drum. Most lines run the same head both sides so the drum speaks evenly from front and back.
03Do I get one head or two?
One. A marching bass drum takes two heads, so order a second if you are replacing both sides.
04Black or white — does it change the sound?
No. Same head, different film color. Choose black to hide mallet marks and reduce glare, white to match a line that already runs white.
