Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 22-inch black front head for a bass drum, printed with the Pearl logo. For drummers replacing the resonant side or changing the front look.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a torn or faded front head on a 22-inch kick
- Drummers who want a black front instead of white
- Matching a black-wrap kit for stage or video
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a batter head — this is the front side
- Kick drums that are not 22 inches
- Players who want a pre-cut port hole
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
Front / resonant head
Sits on the side facing the audience. It shapes sustain and projection more than attack.
Detail 03
Black finish
Reads solid under stage lights and hides scuffs better than white.
Detail 04
Pearl logo print
Front-facing branding is visible to the room, so it matters if your kit is another brand.
Detail 05
No port hole
Comes solid. Miking through the front means cutting a hole yourself or using a boundary mic inside.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell diameter, not the old head or the hoop
- 02Nothing else included — no port ring, muffling or tuning key
- 03Cutting a port is permanent, so mark the circle before you cut
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the batter head or the front head?
The front, resonant head. It goes on the side facing the audience. The batter head is the one you hit with the pedal beater.
02Does it come with a hole already cut?
No. It arrives solid. If you need a port for a microphone or for muffling access, you cut it yourself or fit a port ring.
03Will it fit my 22-inch kick from another brand?
Yes. Head sizes are standard across brands. A 22-inch head fits any 22-inch bass drum, though the Pearl logo will be facing out.
04How do I know what size I need?
Measure straight across the drum shell itself, not the hoop or the old head with its rim. That measurement is the head size.
