Detail 01
Two-ply film
Two layers shorten sustain and add attack. The kick lands as a thump rather than a long ringing note.

RemoEmperor Smooth White Bass Drum Head 22 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 22-inch two-ply smooth white bass drum head. For drummers wanting a controlled, punchy kick with a clean white face on the front.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 22-inch kick drum in a loud live band
- Drummers who want a short, focused bass note
- Front head that shows a logo or stays plain white
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a long, boomy, open kick sustain
- Anyone needing a ported front head out of the box
- Any bass drum that is not 22 inches across the shell
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
Smooth white finish
The white surface is a solid canvas for a logo and hides marks better than clear film. Tone is close to clear.
Detail 03
22 in. size
Matches a 22-inch bass drum shell diameter. Measure the shell, not the hoop or the outer rim of the old head.
Detail 04
Bass drum head
Larger and thicker than tom heads. Works as either the batter you strike or the front resonant head.
Detail 05
No pre-cut port
The head arrives solid. Miking through the front means cutting a hole yourself, which cannot be undone.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your bass drum shell measures 22 inches, not 20 or 24
- 02No port hole, port ring, muffling pillow or tuning key included
- 03Cutting a port needs a template and a hole cutter
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as the front head?
Yes. Smooth white is a common front head choice because it takes a logo well and looks clean under stage lights.
02Will it sound boomy?
No. Two plies cut sustain, so it leans punchy and controlled. If you want more boom, tune it low and skip internal muffling.
03Does it come with a port hole?
No. It ships solid. You cut a port yourself if you want to mike inside or shorten sustain further.
04How do I know my drum size?
Take the old head off and measure straight across the wooden shell. That number is the head size, regardless of hoop width.
