Detail 01
Pinstripe construction
Built to cut sustain and overtones, so the kick lands as a short punch instead of a boomy note.

RemoEbony Series Pinstripe Bass Drum Head 20 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 20-inch black bass drum head with Pinstripe control. For drummers who want a short, punchy kick note and a dark-looking front-facing kit.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a 20-inch bass drum head on a compact kit
- Players who want a fat, short thump with little ring
- Kits where a black head suits the visual setup
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers wanting an open, resonant, long-sustaining kick
- Anyone with a 22-inch bass drum, the more common size
- Players on a tight budget for a single head
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
Ebony (black) film
Opaque black instead of clear. Looks darker on stage and hides some wear from the beater.
Detail 03
20 in.
Fits a 20-inch bass drum shell. Smaller than the standard 22, common on compact and jazz-sized kits.
Detail 04
Bass drum head
Thicker and built to take a beater. Not interchangeable with a tom or snare head of the same size.
Detail 05
No port hole
Solid head. If you want a mic hole in the front head, that has to be cut separately.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a 22 inch kick?
No. Bass drum heads match shell diameter exactly. A 20-inch head only fits a 20-inch bass drum.
02Batter side or front side?
It works as either on a 20-inch kick. As a batter it takes the beater; as a front head it is what the audience sees.
03Do I still need a pillow inside?
Often less muffling is needed, since the head already shortens sustain. Try it bare first, then add damping only if the note rings too long.
04Does the black finish change the sound?
The film construction shapes the tone, not the color. Expect a controlled, punchy note; the black is a visual choice.
