RemoPinstripe Coated Bass Drumhead 20 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 20-inch two-ply coated bass drum head. For drummers who want a fat, short kick note with built-in overtone control and no extra muffling.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small kits where a 20 inch kick needs weight and punch
- Rock and pop gigs needing a controlled, thuddy kick
- Players who want muffling built in rather than added
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz players wanting an open, resonant bass drum
- Anyone needing a front resonant head with a port hole
- 22 or 18 inch bass drums, this is cut for 20
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
Coated
Textured surface takes a touch more high end off than clear. Warmer, drier attack from the beater.
Detail 03
20 inch
A smaller kick than a 22. Two-ply construction adds back some of the low weight a smaller shell gives up.
Detail 04
Batter head
This is the beater side. The front head you cut a port in is a separate purchase.
Detail 05
Two-ply durability
Thicker than a single-ply head, so it holds up to hard beater strikes and heavy playing longer.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only, no front resonant head, port ring or muffling pillow
- 02Measure the shell diameter, not the hoop, before ordering
- 03Pairs with a felt or plastic beater, check yours is not worn
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?
Often not, or much less. The two-ply construction with internal damping already shortens sustain considerably.
02Is this the front head or the beater head?
The beater head. It goes on the side your pedal strikes. Front resonant heads are separate.
03Will it fit a 22 inch bass drum?
No. This is cut for a 20 inch shell. Measure the shell diameter, not the hoop, to confirm.
04What does coated do on a bass drum?
It takes a little high-end click off the attack, giving a warmer, drier note than a clear head of the same build.
