Detail 01
Pinstripe construction
Two plies with a damping agent sealed between them. Cuts overtones at the edge, so the note dies quickly.

RemoPinstripe Clear Bass Drum Head 28 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 28-inch two-ply bass drum head with Remo's damping ring built in. For big concert or marching bass drums that need controlled low end.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert bass drums in orchestra or wind ensemble settings
- Marching bass drum lines needing a focused, short note
- Replacing a worn head on an existing 28-inch shell
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Standard kit bass drums, which are usually 20 to 24 inches
- Players wanting maximum sustain and open ring
- Anyone unsure of their shell diameter, since 28 inch is uncommon
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 sustain than a coated head of the same build. No textured surface.
Detail 03
28 inch diameter
Measure the shell across the bearing edge, not the old head's hoop. A 28 head only fits a 28 shell.
Detail 04
Two-ply build
Thicker and more dent-resistant than single ply. Takes hard beater or mallet strikes longer before denting.
Detail 05
Bass drum head
Built for the low frequencies of a large shell. Not interchangeable with tom or snare heads of any size.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only. No tuning key, dampening pillow, or hardware included.
- 02Confirm this is going on the batter side or the front side
- 03Large heads need even tension across many lugs to seat properly
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a 28-inch bass drum?
Yes, if the shell measures 28 inches across the bearing edge. Head sizes refer to the shell diameter, so measure the shell rather than the old hoop.
02Is a Pinstripe more muffled than a regular head?
Yes. The damping ring between the two plies kills overtones, giving a shorter, drier note without adding external muffling.
03Clear or coated for bass drum?
This one is clear, which gives a brighter attack and more sustain. Coated versions are warmer with a softer attack.
04Does this work on a marching bass drum?
Yes, on a 28-inch marching shell. The two-ply build handles mallet strikes and the damping keeps the note tight.
