Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A 20-inch clear Pinstripe. Two plies with damping between them, giving a short, fat note. For drummers fighting excessive ring.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Taming a ringy 20-inch floor tom without tape or gels
  • Loud stages where a short, thick note cuts through
  • Hard hitters who dent single-ply heads quickly

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players who want long, open, singing sustain
  • Brush work — the clear surface gives no grip
  • Any shell that is not 20 inches across

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

Pinstripe construction

Two thin films with damping between them at the edge. Fewer overtones, shorter sustain, better dent resistance than one ply.

Detail 02

Clear, not coated

Keeps the attack crisp so the head does not go muddy despite the built-in damping. Brushes will not work.

Detail 03

20 in.

Fits a 20-inch shell — a large floor tom or a small bass drum, depending on your kit.

Detail 04

Built-in damping

You can usually skip moongels and tape. Adding more muffling on top makes it lifeless.

Detail 05

Two-ply at low tension

Stays stable and focused tuned down low, where a thin head starts to flap and lose pitch.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure the shell across the bearing edge, not the rim or hoop
  2. 02One head per package — a double-headed drum needs the bottom bought separately
  3. 03Tune it lower than you would a single-ply head; that is where it works

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Will this stop my tom from ringing?

Largely, yes. The damping between the two plies cuts overtones and shortens sustain, which is the point of the design. No tape or gels needed.

02Can I use it on a bass drum?

Yes, if the shell is 20 inches. Two-ply construction handles pedal beaters well and gives a short, punchy kick note.

03Is it more durable than an Ambassador?

Yes. Two plies take stick impact far better than one, so it is the safer choice for heavy hitters and long tours.

04Does it work with brushes?

No. The film is clear and smooth with no texture, so brushes slide across it silently. You need a coated head for that.
