PearlLogo Front Bass Drum Head Clear 22 in.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 22in clear front head for bass drums, with the Pearl logo printed on it. Replaces a worn or unbranded resonant head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Refreshing the front of a 22in bass drum that looks tired
- Matching a Pearl kit's front head to the badge
- Replacing a resonant head cut or torn by a port
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bass drums that are not 22in — head sizes do not stretch
- Drummers wanting a pre-cut port hole in the head
- Anyone needing a batter head for the beater side
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
Resonant / front head
Goes on the side away from the pedal. It shapes sustain and projection, not the beater feel.
Detail 03
22in
Measured across the shell diameter, not the hoop. A 20in or 24in drum will not take this.
Detail 04
No port hole
Solid head means more sustain and less mic access. Cutting a port is on you.
Detail 05
Pearl logo printed
Purely cosmetic, front-facing. It does not change how the head sounds.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your shell diameter, not the hoop, before ordering 22in
- 02No port hole cut — you will need a hole cutter for mic access
- 03Muffling pillows, felt strips and dampening rings are separate purchases
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this have a port hole for a microphone?
No. It ships solid. If you mic the kick from inside, you will need to cut a port yourself with a proper hole cutter.
02Can I use this as a batter head?
It is built as a front resonant head. The beater side takes a dedicated batter head made for repeated impact.
03Will it fit a non-Pearl bass drum?
Yes, if the drum is 22in. Head sizing is by diameter, not brand — only the printed logo is Pearl-specific.
04How do I know if my drum is 22in?
Measure the shell diameter with the head off, edge to edge. Do not measure over the hoop — that reads larger.
