RemoPinstripe Coated Drum Head 20 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 20-inch coated two-ply Pinstripe head. For drummers who want controlled, short sustain on a large tom or bass drum batter without adding external damping.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drummers who tape their heads down and want that built in
- Large floor toms that ring too long in small rooms
- Hard hitters who need a head that survives a season
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing long, open sustain and high overtones
- Anyone wanting maximum stick attack and brightness
- Snare-side or resonant positions — this is a batter 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
Coated film
Textured surface takes some edge off the attack and warms the tone. Brushes will actually catch on it.
Detail 03
20 inch
Diameter must match the drum's shell size exactly, not the hoop or the rim measurement.
Detail 04
Built-in damping
Tunes low and stays focused without tape, gel dots, or a muffling ring on top.
Detail 05
Tom head at 20 inch
Fits a large floor tom, or works as a bass drum batter if you want the same controlled decay.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell diameter, not the hoop. A 20-inch head fits a 20-inch shell.
- 02Head only. No hoop, tuning key, or resonant head included.
- 03Two-ply heads sound dead if tuned too low — start medium and work down.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as a bass drum head?
Yes. At 20 inches it fits a 20-inch bass drum as a batter head, and the built-in damping gives you a short, controlled thud without added muffling.
02Coated or clear Pinstripe — what's the difference?
Coated softens the attack and warms the tone slightly, and works with brushes. Clear is brighter with more stick definition. Both have the same two-ply damping.
03Do I still need moongel or tape?
Usually not. The two-ply damped design already controls overtones. Add damping only if your room is unusually live.
04How long will it last?
Two-ply heads take heavy sticking far better than single-ply. Hard hitters get considerably more playing time before denting.
