Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 26-inch black head for a marching bass drum. Buy it to replace a worn or punctured head on a corps or high school bass line drum.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a beat-up head on a 26" marching bass
- Bass lines that need a uniform black look on the field
- Outdoor drumlines putting heavy mallet hours on heads
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum set players — this is not a kick drum head
- Anyone with a 24" or 28" marching bass
- Players who want a white or clear front head
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
26 in.
Fits a 26" shell only. Bass lines run graduated sizes, so confirm which drum you're re-heading.
Detail 03
Black finish
Cosmetic. Matters if the rest of your line runs black heads and you want a matched look.
Detail 04
Sold as one head
A marching bass has two playing sides. Two heads per drum if you're doing a full replacement.
Detail 05
MX2 series
Evans' marching line, so heads across your bass line tune and match consistently.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell diameter — marching bass sizes step up in two-inch increments
- 02Two heads needed to re-head both sides of one drum
- 03No tuning key or mounting hardware included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on a drum set kick drum?
It's made for marching bass drums, which are struck with mallets on both sides. A pedal beater is a different demand.
02Do I need one or two?
Two if you're replacing both sides of a marching bass. One head covers a single side.
03Will a 26-inch head fit my 28-inch drum?
No. The head diameter must match the shell diameter exactly.
04Is the black just cosmetic?
The color choice is about matching your line's look on the field. Buy it if your bass drums already run black.
