Detail 01
Pinstripe construction
Two plies with a damping agent between them. Cuts overtones at the head, so less internal muffling needed.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
20-inch two-ply clear bass drum head from Remo. For drummers wanting a controlled, focused kick sound without adding external muffling.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn batter head on a 20-inch bass drum
- Drummers who want short decay without stuffing pillows inside
- Rock and pop kits needing a punchy, defined kick
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz players wanting an open, resonant, singing bass drum
- Anyone needing a 22-inch head — this is 20 only
- Drummers after a warm, vintage tone from a coated head
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
Clear film
Brighter attack and more low-end sustain than a coated head of the same build. Stick or beater definition stays sharp.
Detail 03
20 inch
Matches a 20-inch bass drum shell. Measure your shell diameter, not the old head's printed size, before ordering.
Detail 04
Batter side head
This is the beater-side head. Your front head stays as is; the two do different jobs.
Detail 05
Two-ply thickness
Thicker film takes hard beater impact better than single-ply, so it lasts longer under heavy playing.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only. No tuning key, dampening pillow, or bass drum port included.
- 02Confirm your drum is 20 inch — head sizes are shell diameter, not shell depth.
- 03Plan on a full re-tune after fitting; a fresh head settles and needs seating.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I still need a pillow inside the drum?
Usually less of one. The Pinstripe damping ring already shortens decay. Start with no muffling, then add a small towel or pillow only if you want it drier.
02Is this the front head or the beater head?
It is a batter head, meaning the side the pedal beater strikes. The front resonant head is a separate purchase.
03Will it work on a 20-inch bass drum used as a floor tom or gong drum?
Yes, physically it fits any 20-inch shell. The tone will be focused and short rather than open.
04Clear or coated for a bass drum?
Clear gives more attack and low-end sustain. Coated is warmer and drier. For rock and pop kick sounds, clear is the more common choice.
