RemoPinstripe Coated Bass Drumhead
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Coated two-ply bass drumhead with Remo's muffling ring built in. For drummers who want a controlled, punchy kick without stuffing the drum with pillows.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live rock and pop where the kick needs to cut
- Drummers tired of taping and packing their bass drum
- Players who want short decay straight out of the box
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz players wanting an open, resonant kick
- Anyone chasing long sustain and boomy low end
- Drummers who already run heavy internal muffling
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 surface
Slightly warmer and drier than a clear head. Takes a little top-end edge off the attack.
Detail 03
Bass drum head
Sized and built for kick duty. Not a tom or snare head.
Detail 04
Two-ply build
More durable than single-ply and lower pitched. Tunes to a focused thud rather than a ring.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your bass drum size before ordering — heads are size-specific
- 02Head only. No hoop, lugs, or tuning key included
- 03You will need a drum key and a tuning pass after mounting
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a batter or resonant head?
It is built as a batter head — the side you strike. Pair it with a separate front/resonant head.
02Do I still need a pillow inside?
Usually not. The built-in damping between plies handles most overtones. Add a small amount only if you want a very dead kick.
03Coated or clear — what's the difference here?
Coated is a touch warmer and drier, with slightly less attack snap. Clear is brighter and more aggressive.
04Will this work on a tom?
It is designed for bass drum. Remo makes Pinstripe heads in tom sizes separately.
