Detail 01
26 inch
Sized for a 26-inch shell. That diameter moves a lot of air: lower fundamental, more volume, a slower attack.

RemoEmperor Smooth White Bass Drum Head 26 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 26-inch Emperor bass drum head with a smooth white surface. A direct replacement for oversized kicks, for drummers who want an opaque head rather than a see-through one.
Strong match
Who this is for
- A 26-inch kick that needs a fresh head
- Players who want a solid white face instead of seeing into the shell
- Stages where the head reads white under lights
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Standard 20-, 22- or 24-inch kicks, the diameter will not fit
- Drummers chasing the brighter bite of a clear film
- Small rooms and low-volume gigs where a 26 is already too much drum
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
Opaque, so nothing inside the drum shows through, and it takes stage light evenly.
Detail 03
Smooth rather than coated
No textured coating, so the attack stays a touch brighter and more open than a coated head.
Detail 04
Bass drum head
Cut for a kick drum's collar and beater impact; it is not a large tom or gong head.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell, not the old hoop, before ordering a 26
- 02Sold as one head; a kick needs a batter and a front head
- 03Add a pillow or muffling ring if you want a shorter, drier note
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I know I need a 26-inch head?
Head size follows the shell diameter, not the hoop or the outside measurement. Measure across the top of the bare shell. A 26-inch shell takes this head.
02White or clear, which should I get?
White is opaque and hides the drum's interior. Clear shows through and reads slightly brighter. Both work on a kick; it is mostly a look and a small tone difference.
03Can I use it as the front head?
Yes, drummers commonly run a smooth white head on the front of a kick. If you want a mic inside, you will need to cut or order a ported version.
04Does it come with anything to protect the beater spot?
Fit a stick-on impact patch if you play hard. It is the cheapest way to stop a beater from wearing a hole through the film.
