Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
22-inch front (resonant) bass drum head in ebony with a Pearl logo. For Pearl kit owners replacing a worn or mismatched front head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a scuffed front head on a 22-inch Pearl bass drum
- Matching a black-wrap kit where the front head faces the audience
- Players who want a factory-look front head, not a custom graphic
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a batter head — this is the front side
- Bass drums that aren't 22 inches; head sizes don't stretch
- Players wanting a plain or clear front head with no logo
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
Goes on the side facing away from the pedal. It shapes sustain and projection, not attack.
Detail 03
Ebony finish
Black film reads dark under stage lights and hides scuffs better than a white or clear head.
Detail 04
Pearl logo
Printed graphic faces the audience. Only looks right on a Pearl kit; mismatched on other brands.
Detail 05
Single head, not a pack
Covers one drum, one side. A full bass drum job also needs a batter head.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell diameter, not the old head's hoop, before ordering
- 02Batter head, muffling and port cutting are not included
- 03Cutting a port hole voids returns and is not reversible
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this go on the beater side?
No. This is the front head, facing the audience. The beater strikes the batter head on the opposite side.
02Will it fit a non-Pearl bass drum?
A 22-inch drum takes a 22-inch head regardless of brand. The Pearl logo will be visible on whatever kit you mount it to.
03Is there a port hole already cut?
It ships as a full head. Any port hole has to be cut by you or a tech.
04Do I need new tension rods or claws?
No. It uses your existing hoop, claws and rods. Only the head itself is replaced.
