What matters in use
The specifications, translated

Detail 02

Built for the tension and impact of a carried bass drum played with mallets on both sides.
Detail 03

Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your shell diameter before ordering — 24 inch is not adjustable
- 02One head per package; a full drum needs two for both sides
- 03You'll need a drum key to detension and retension the hoop evenly
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit a 24-inch bass drum on a drum set?
The diameter matches, but this is a marching bass head, built for a carried drum struck with mallets on both sides. A drum set kick head is a different design.
02Do I get two heads for both sides of the drum?
One head per package. A marching bass drum is played on both faces, so you'd need a second one to do the whole drum.
03How do I know if my drum is 24 inches?
Measure across the top of the shell itself, edge to edge, not including the hoop. Head sizes match shell diameter.
04What do I need to install it?
A drum key. Remove the hoop and old head, seat the new one, then tighten the tension rods gradually in a star pattern.
