Detail 01
5.5-inch port hole
Big enough to pass a mic through and reach inside for muffling. It also shortens sustain and tightens the low end.

RemoAmbassador Bass Drum Head With 5.5" Port Hole Ebony 20 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 20-inch black front head for a bass drum, with a 5.5-inch port already cut. For miking up without taking a knife to a new head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Miking a 20-inch bass drum from inside the shell
- Adding muffling access without cutting your own hole
- Matching a black-wrap or dark-finish kit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want a fully sealed, boomy front head
- Bass drums that are not 20 inches
- Anyone needing a batter head for the pedal 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
Pre-cut
No template, no cutting, no ragged edge. The hole is finished from the factory and will not tear at the rim.
Detail 03
20 in.
Fits a 20-inch bass drum only. Bass heads are sized by shell diameter, not by drum depth.
Detail 04
Front head
This is the head the beater does not touch. The pedal side takes a separate batter head.
Detail 05
Ebony finish
Solid black rather than see-through. It hides the inside of the drum and any pillow or muffling you have in there.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Front head only. No batter head, no muffling pillow, no mic included
- 02The port position is fixed. Rotate the head at fitting to place it where you want
- 03Confirm your bass drum is 20 inches before ordering
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which side does this go on?
The front, facing the audience. The beater strikes the opposite side, which needs a separate bass drum batter head.
02Does the port hole change the sound?
Yes. A port lets air escape, so the drum sustains less and sounds tighter and punchier than a fully sealed front head.
03Can I fit a mic through the hole?
A 5.5-inch port clears most standard kick mics. Check your specific mic and clip, since larger shock mounts can be tight.
04Will it fit a 22-inch kick?
No. This is cut for a 20-inch shell. A 22-inch drum needs a 22-inch head.
