Detail 01
Two-ply construction
More mass and durability than a single ply. Shorter sustain, fewer overtones, more low thud under hard mallets.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
28-inch white marching bass drum batter head. Two-ply Mylar built for outdoor marching volume and stick abuse. Sized for a 28-inch marching bass shell.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Marching band bass drummers replacing a worn or split head
- Outdoor drumlines needing a head that survives full-force mallet strikes
- Programs standardizing on white heads for visual uniformity
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum set players — this is a marching head, not a kit head
- Concert bass drum use, where a thinner single ply speaks better
- Anyone whose shell is not 28 inches
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
28 in. size
Head diameter must match the shell diameter exactly. A 28-inch head will not fit a 26 or 30.
Detail 03
White finish
Opaque white damps slightly more high end than clear and matches typical marching bass visual specs.
Detail 04
Marching-specific design
Built for outdoor projection and mallet impact rather than the sensitivity a concert or kit head needs.
Detail 05
Batter head
This is the struck side. The resonant side takes its own head, sold separately.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only — the opposite side of the drum is not covered
- 02Measure the shell, not the old head, if you are unsure of size
- 03Plan on a full retune after mounting; new heads settle and go flat
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit a 28-inch marching bass drum?
Yes. It is a 28-inch head sized for a 28-inch marching bass shell. Match head diameter to shell diameter.
02Is this one head or a pair?
One head. A marching bass drum uses two, so buy a second if you are replacing both sides.
03Can I use this on a drum set kick drum?
It is designed for marching bass drums. Kit kick heads are built for pedal beaters and a different tuning range.
04White or clear — what is the difference?
White is opaque and takes a little brightness off the attack. Clear is slightly more open. Marching programs usually specify white for uniformity.
