Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my 26-inch bass drum?
Yes, if the shell measures 26 inches. Measure across the shell itself, not the outer hoop or rim, since hoops add width.
02Is this the front or the beater head?
Batter head, meaning the side the pedal beater strikes. If you need the front head with the logo or port hole, that is a separate item.
03How is it different from a regular coated head?
The fiber layer is thicker and more textured than standard coating, giving a drier, warmer, more muted attack closer to real skin.
04Do I need muffling with this head?
Usually less than with a clear head. The fiber surface already cuts overtones, so a blanket or pillow may be unnecessary.
