- Replacing a dented or dead 18-inch marching bass head
- Drum corps sections that want matching white 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
White finish
Opaque white hides the shell interior and keeps a uniform look across a bass line.
Detail 03
Marching bass head
Built for the horizontal, mallet-struck playing of a carried bass drum, not a kick pedal.
Detail 04
Sold as one head
A marching bass drum has two sides; matching both means buying twice.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit an 18-inch kick drum?
It is an 18-inch head, so it will physically seat on an 18-inch kick shell. It is designed for marching bass drums and mallet playing, not pedal use.
02Is this the batter side or the resonant side?
Marching bass drums are struck on both sides, so this can go on either. Many players run matching heads on both sides.
03How do I know what size head I need?
Measure the drum shell diameter across the top, edge to edge, without the hoop. That number is your head size.
04Do I get two heads for this price?
This is a single 18-inch head. Order two if you are replacing both sides of the drum.
