RemoControlled Sound Clear With Black Dot Bass Drum Head 20 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 20-inch clear bass drum batter head with a reinforcing center dot. For kicks that need a defined attack and a head that survives the beater.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 20-inch kick drums played with a hard beater
- Drummers who want click and punch to cut through a band
- Replacing a batter head worn through at the beater spot
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a soft, muffled thud with no attack
- Anyone needing a front head with a port hole cut
- Drummers whose kick is not 20 inches in diameter
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
Clear film
Brighter and more open than coated. Emphasizes the initial attack over warmth, which helps a kick cut through loud stages.
Detail 03
Single ply
One layer, so the drum breathes and responds at low volume. The dot, not a second ply, does the durability work.
Detail 04
Batter head
Goes on the pedal side. The front resonant head, and any port hole in it, is a separate decision.
Detail 05
20 in.
Matches a 20-inch shell, common on jazz and compact kits. Measure the shell, not the hoop or old head.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One batter head only. No front head, no muffling pillow, no tuning key.
- 02Little internal damping. Most players still add a pillow or a felt strip.
- 03The dot goes inside the drum, facing the beater on the head's underside.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which side does the black dot face?
The dot sits on the underside of the head, inside the drum, directly behind where the beater strikes. Install it dot-side in.
02Do I need extra muffling with this head?
Usually some. It is a single-ply clear head with no built-in damping ring, so most players add a pillow or towel inside for a tighter kick sound.
03Is this the front head or the pedal-side head?
Pedal side. It is a batter head. The front head you see from the audience is a separate resonant head.
04Will the dot change the sound or just add durability?
Both. It reinforces the strike zone and also sharpens the attack, giving the kick more click and slightly less low-end bloom.
