Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
20-inch single-ply batter head with a center reinforcement dot. For drummers who want extra attack and durability at the strike zone.
Strong match

- Kick drum or floor tom re-heading at 20 inches
- Hard hitters who wear through the center of heads
- Players wanting focused attack with controlled overtones
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers after a fully open, ringing sustain
- Anyone needing a resonant or front head
- Kits without a 20-inch drum

- 03Retune after a few hours of playing as the head settles
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on a bass drum?
Yes. At 20 inches it fits a 20-inch bass drum as the batter head, and the center dot handles beater impact well.
02What does the black dot actually do?
It reinforces the strike area, adding attack and durability while reducing high overtones. The head sounds more focused and less ringy.
03Is this single ply or two ply?
Single ply with a reinforcing dot at center. That keeps the open response of one ply while protecting the strike zone.
04Do I still need muffling?
Often less than with a plain head. The dot already cuts ring, so start without added muffling and add only if needed.
