Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a worn 22" bass drum head on a gigging kit
  • Rehearsal and practice kits that eat heads
  • Keeping a spare in the hardware case

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • 20" or 24" bass drums — size is fixed
  • Drummers chasing a specific pre-muffled or ported design
  • Anyone needing a matched top-and-bottom pair from one purchase

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

22 inch size

Matches the drum's stated diameter, not the rim measurement. A 22" kick takes a 22" head.

Detail 02

Single head, not a pair

Bass drums use a batter and a resonant head. This covers one side only.

Detail 03

Around $53

Sits below premium head pricing, which makes it practical for kits that get replaced on a schedule.

Detail 04

Fits any brand of 22" kick

Head sizing is universal across manufacturers — Pearl branding doesn't restrict it to Pearl drums.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Confirm your kick is 22", measured across the shell not the hoop
  2. 02No muffling pillow, port ring, or damping included
  3. 03You'll need a drum key and time to seat and tune it evenly

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Will this fit a non-Pearl bass drum?

Yes. Drum head sizes are standard across brands — any 22" kick drum takes a 22" head.

02Is this the front or the batter head?

It's a 22" bass drum head and can serve either position. You get one head, so buy two to do both sides.

03Does it come with a port hole?

No. If you want a ported front head for miking, you'd cut it yourself or use a port ring.

04How do I know what size I need?

Measure the shell diameter, not the outside of the hoop. A drum sold as a 22" kick takes a 22" head.
