RemoControlled Sound Clear With Black Dot Bass Drum Head 30 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single-ply clear bass drum batter with a center black dot, in 30 inch. For drummers running an oversized bass drum who want focused attack.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 30 inch bass drums that need a defined, punchy front-of-beat attack
- Players who want less low-end wash from a large shell
- Replacing a worn batter head where the beater has dented the center
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting maximum open sustain and boom from a big shell
- Standard 20 to 24 inch kick drums — this will not fit
- Drummers after a warm, muffled, thuddy studio kick tone
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 a coated head, with more attack definition and less built-in warmth.
Detail 03
30 inch
Sized for the drum's shell diameter, not the hoop. A 30 inch drum takes this head and nothing smaller.
Detail 04
Controlled Sound design
The dot does the muffling, so you often need less internal padding or external damping inside the drum.
Detail 05
Single ply under the dot
Keeps the head responsive to lighter strokes while the reinforced center handles the hard hits.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your shell diameter, not the old head's hoop, before ordering
- 02One head only — a bass drum needs a separate resonant head
- 03Retune the whole drum after fitting; a fresh head stretches over the first sessions
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my 28 inch bass drum?
No. Drum heads are sized to the shell diameter and do not stretch to fit. A 28 inch drum needs a 28 inch head.
02Is this a batter or resonant head?
It is built as a batter head. The reinforcing dot sits where the beater lands, which is wasted on a front head.
03Do I still need muffling inside the drum?
Usually less than with a plain clear head. Start with no pillow, listen, then add damping only if the low end is still ringing too long.
04Will the black dot change the color of my kit's look?
The film is clear with a black circle in the middle, so your shell interior shows through around the dot.
