Detail 01
Resonant head
This mounts on the front and is not struck. It shapes decay and low-end body rather than attack.

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
28 in. size
A large concert or orchestral bass drum size, not a typical drum kit kick. Measure the shell diameter.
Detail 03
Single-ply Ambassador weight
Thin film on a resonant side gives long, open low-end sustain rather than a tight, controlled thud.
Detail 04
Ebony film
Black film is opaque, so the drum interior and any muffling stay out of sight. Tone is close to clear.
Detail 05
No port hole
Ships solid. Miking through the front requires cutting your own port, which is permanent.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Single head only. The batter side is a separate purchase.
- 02A 28-inch head is heavy and awkward. Seat it flat before tensioning.
- 03Cutting a port hole is permanent and needs a proper hole cutter.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my 22-inch kick drum?
No. Bass drum heads are diameter-specific. A 28-inch head only fits a 28-inch shell.
02Can I hit this head?
It's built as a resonant head for the front side. A single-ply head on the batter side of a bass drum will not survive pedal use for long.
03Does it come with a port hole?
No. It ships solid. If you need a mic port, you cut it yourself, and that cut cannot be undone.
04How do I measure for the right size?
Remove the old head and measure the shell diameter across the top, edge to edge. Do not measure over the hoop.
