Detail 01
2-ply, 7-mil and 5-mil
Two films of different thickness cut sustain and overtones, and hold up to hard beater work better than a single ply.

RemoPowersonic Clear Bass Drumhead - 18 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 2-ply clear 18-inch kick batter with an integrated beater patch and internal dampening rings. For players who want a controlled, punchy kick with no added muffling.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Compact 18-inch kits needing punch without a pillow inside
- Loud rock and metal players who eat through single-ply heads
- Anyone who wants pre-damped kick tone straight out of the box
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want a long, open, resonant kick sustain
- Bass drums other than 18 inch
- Anyone needing the front head — this is the batter side only
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
Dual internal subsonic dampening rings
Built-in control rings tame the low boom and ring, so you may not need a pillow inside the drum.
Detail 03
Integrated impact patch
Reinforced beater zone is part of the head, so the strike point does not thin out and split early.
Detail 04
Clear finish
More attack and beater click than coated, which helps the kick cut through loud guitars.
Detail 05
18 in.
Fits an 18-inch shell only. The line runs 18 through 24 inch if your other kits differ.
Detail 06
Bass drum head
Built for kick tension and pedal impact. Not a substitute for a floor tom head of the same diameter.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell, not the hoop — 18 inch means an 18-inch bass drum
- 02Front head, port hole, muffling and tuning key are not included
- 03Start at low tension; with built-in rings, over-tightening kills the low end
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. The dual internal dampening rings already cut ring and boom. Add damping only if you want an even drier, tighter thud.
02How is this different from a single-ply kick head?
Two plies mean less sustain, fewer overtones and a shorter, punchier note, plus more durability under heavy beater work.
03Will it fit my 20 or 22 inch kick?
No. Buy the matching size. The line is made from 18 through 24 inch.
04Is a beater pad needed?
No. The impact patch is built into the head at the strike point.
