Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A white 16-inch marching bass drum head. Replacement part for a drum line or an indoor ensemble bass in the 16-inch size.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn head on a 16-inch marching bass
- Keeping a bass line visually uniform in white
- Ensembles that need matched heads across a graduated bass set
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum set kick drums, this is a marching bass head
- Any marching bass other than 16 inches
- Players who want a coated or textured playing surface
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 head
Built for mallet strikes and outdoor projection, not for a drum set kick pedal beater.
Detail 03
White finish
Opaque white keeps the drum line looking uniform on the field and hides mallet marks better than clear.
Detail 04
Single head
Marching basses are played on both sides. Two are needed to re-head one drum completely.
Detail 05
Drum head, not a drum
This is the replacement membrane. Hoops, hardware and the shell are not part of it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head per purchase. Re-heading a bass drum takes two.
- 02Measure the shell diameter, since bass lines mix 16-inch through much larger drums.
- 03Hoops, lugs and tension rods are not included. Reuse the drum's existing hardware.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work on my kick drum?
It is a marching bass head, made for mallets rather than a pedal beater. Use a drum set bass head for a kick.
02How many do I need for one drum?
Two. Marching basses are struck on both sides, so both heads should be replaced as a pair.
03Is it coated or smooth?
It is a white head, not a coated one. The surface is meant for mallets, not brush work.
04Does 16 inch mean the head or the drum?
The drum shell. Marching bass heads are sold by shell diameter, so a 16-inch bass takes this head.
