The Korena take

A 22-inch clear two-ply bass drum head. Punchy and durable, for drummers who want attack and a controlled low end from a standard kick.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Rock and live playing where the kick needs to cut
  • Hard hitters who wear through thinner bass heads
  • Drummers who want punch without a pre-muffled head

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players wanting a warm, dry, studio-muffled thud out of the box
  • Anyone with a 20 or 24 inch kick — size must match
  • Drummers needing a ported front head for miking

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 01

Two-ply film

Shorter decay and stronger attack than a single ply, plus real durability against a beater striking one spot.

Detail 02

Clear, not coated

Brighter attack and more high-end click than coated. Easier for a mic to pick up definition.

Detail 03

22 in. size

Fits a 22-inch kick, the most common size. Measure the drum's rim diameter, not the shell interior.

Detail 04

No built-in muffling

You control the damping with a pillow or blanket inside. More flexible, but it will ring untreated.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Single head in the pack, not a front and batter pair
  2. 02Expect to add internal muffling to tame the ring
  3. 03A beater patch protects the strike point; check whether one is included

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Is this the batter or the front head?

It's designed as the batter — the head your pedal beater strikes. Front resonant heads are usually thinner and often come pre-ported.

02Will it sound boomy?

Untreated, yes, it has real sustain. A pillow or muffling ring against the head tightens it into a focused thud quickly.

03Do I need a beater patch?

Strongly recommended. Without one, the beater wears a hole through the strike point far sooner, especially with hard plastic or wood beaters.

04How does clear compare to coated here?

Clear gives a brighter, clickier attack that cuts through a mix. Coated is slightly warmer with a softer front edge to the note.
