Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A 22-inch coated Pinstripe bass drum head. Two-ply and pre-damped for a short, punchy kick without stuffing the drum full of muffling.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Live rock and pop kits needing a focused kick with little ring
  • Replacing a worn batter head without rethinking the whole kick sound
  • Miked stages where the engineer wants tight, controlled low end

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Jazz or orchestral players who want an open, singing bass drum
  • 20-inch or 24-inch kicks — this fits 22-inch shells only
  • Drummers who tune low and loose for maximum sustain

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 01

Pinstripe two-ply

Two film plies with a damping ring between them cancel high overtones, so the note dies fast.

Detail 02

Coated surface

Takes a little edge off the attack and warms the tone slightly compared with a clear head.

Detail 03

22 in.

Head size matches shell diameter, not hoop. Measure across the top of the shell before ordering.

Detail 04

Bass drum weight film

Heavier than tom film so it survives constant beater impact and holds tuning under hard playing.

Detail 05

Built-in damping

You need less pillow or blanket inside the drum. Start with nothing and add only if it rings.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Head only — no muffling pad, tuning key, beater patch, or hoop included
  2. 02Bare film wears through fast under a hard beater; add an impact patch
  3. 03Fresh heads stretch. Tune, play ten minutes, then retune before a gig

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Is this a batter head or a front head?

It is built as a batter — two-ply film and short decay are made for beater contact. It can go on the front, but there is no port hole, so you would cut your own.

02Will this fit my 22 inch bass drum?

Yes. Drum head sizes match shell diameter. Measure straight across the top of the shell, ignoring the hoop, and confirm it reads 22 inches.

03Do I still need a pillow inside the drum?

Usually far less. The damping ring already shortens the note. Try the drum empty first, then add a small pillow touching the head only if you want it drier.

04Coated or clear for a kick drum?

Coated is warmer with less click. Clear gives slightly more attack. For a miked rock or pop kick, coated is the safer all-round choice.
