Strong match

Who this is for

  • Large-format kits where the front head is worn or unported
  • Miking a kick without pulling the front head off entirely
  • Matching a darker-looking kit front

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone needing a batter head — this goes on the front
  • Kits with 20, 22, or 26 in. kick drums
  • Drummers who want a fully solid front head with no port

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 01

Resonant head

Front side only. It shapes sustain and projection; the batter side is what you actually strike.

Detail 02

Pre-cut offset hole

Mic access and controlled air release without cutting your own port. Off-center placement keeps the head from losing too much tone.

Detail 03

24 in.

Fits a 24 in. diameter bass drum shell only. Depth of the drum does not change the head size.

Detail 04

Onyx finish

Dark surface, so a plain logo or graphic will not show the way it does on a white head.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Batter head is not included; this is the front head only
  2. 02Check your kick is 24 in. across, measured on the shell
  3. 03Muffling pillow or ring is separate if you want a drier sound

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Can I hit this head?

It is a resonant front head, not a batter. Use a batter head on the pedal side.

02Does it already have a mic hole?

Yes. It comes with an offset port cut, so you can get a mic inside without cutting it yourself.

03Will this fit a 22 in. bass drum?

No. Head size must match shell diameter. A 24 in. head only fits a 24 in. kick.

04Do I need to remove the hoop to install it?

Yes. Loosen and remove the claws and hoop, swap the head, then retension evenly with a drum key.
