Detail 01
Pinstripe two-ply construction
Two films with a damping agent between them near the edge. Cuts overtones and sustain, leaving a focused, thumping note.

RemoEbony Series Pinstripe Bass Drum Head 26 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
26-inch two-ply black bass drum head. Built-in muffling ring and thicker film mean a short, punchy note out of a very large kick.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Large kick drums needing controlled attack without stuffing in pillows
- Loud rock and metal where the kick has to punch through
- Players who want a dark visual look on an oversized bass drum
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz players wanting an open, resonant, long-sustaining kick
- Standard 20 or 22-inch bass drums — this only fits 26-inch shells
- Anyone chasing a bright, papery vintage 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
Ebony (black) film
The black coloring adds a touch more thickness and darkness compared to a clear version of the same head.
Detail 03
26 inch
An oversized kick. Deep, low fundamental and a lot of air moved, but heavy and awkward to transport.
Detail 04
Two-ply durability
Stands up to hard beater strikes far better than a single-ply head. Fewer replacements under heavy playing.
Detail 05
Built-in muffling
Less need for internal pillows or blankets. You can often run the drum with minimal added dampening.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your shell is 26 inches — head sizes are not interchangeable
- 02Impact patch not included; add one to protect against beater wear
- 03Two-ply heads seat slowly — tune, play in, then retune
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Batter side or resonant side?
This is designed as a batter — the side the pedal beater strikes. Front resonant heads are usually thinner and often ported.
02Do I still need muffling inside the drum?
Usually much less. The two-ply build with its damping layer already kills most of the ring. Add a small pillow only if you want it drier.
03Will this fit a 24-inch bass drum?
No. Bass drum heads match shell diameter exactly. A 26-inch head only fits a 26-inch drum.
04Does the black film change the sound versus clear?
Slightly. The added coloring makes it a bit thicker and darker, with marginally less high-end attack than a clear two-ply.
