Detail 01
Clear film
No coating on the surface, so the attack reads brighter and more present than a coated head.

RemoEmperor Clear Bass Drumhead 24 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A clear 24-inch Emperor bass drum head. A straightforward replacement for a 24-inch kick when you want attack and openness and prefer to muffle it yourself.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Swapping a worn or dented head on a 24-inch kick
- Drummers who set their own muffling with a pillow or blanket
- Kits where a see-through head shows the shell or an internal light
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- 22- or 26-inch kicks, the diameter has to match exactly
- Players who want dampening already built into the head
- Anyone after the drier, warmer thump of a coated surface
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
24 inch
Fits a 24-inch shell. Bigger than a 22, so a lower pitch and more volume for the same stroke.
Detail 03
Bass drum head
Built for kick tension and beater contact. A 24-inch tom head is not a substitute.
Detail 04
Clear surface and wear
Beater contact shows as a visible scuff on clear film, so you can see wear before the head fails.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sold as one head; the front resonant head is a separate purchase
- 02Stick an impact patch on the beater spot before the first gig
- 03Muffling is up to you, a folded towel inside is the usual starting point
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Clear or coated for a kick drum?
Clear gives more attack and a more open note. Coated pulls back the top end for a drier thump. Most rock and pop players run clear on the batter side.
02Will this fit a 22-inch bass drum?
No. Head size matches the shell diameter, so a 24-inch head only fits a 24-inch drum. Measure across the bare shell if you are unsure.
03Do I need to muffle it?
Depends on the sound you want. Untreated it rings long and open. A pillow touching the head, or an external ring, shortens the note quickly.
04How often should a kick batter be replaced?
When the beater spot thins, dents, or the head stops holding tune. Gigging drummers often change once or twice a year; home players go much longer.
