RemoPowerstroke 3 Clear Bass Drum Head With Impact Patch - 18 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
18-inch clear bass drum batter with built-in muffling and a factory impact patch. For compact kicks that need control straight out of the bag.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 18 inch bass drums on gigging or compact kits
- Players who want focused thud without stuffing pillows
- Hard, steady pedal work that chews through plain heads
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a wide-open, resonant jazz kick
- Drummers who prefer to dial muffling in themselves
- Bass drums sized 20 or 22 inches
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
Impact patch
A reinforced pad at the beater strike point. Spreads wear so the film survives hard, repeated hits.
Detail 03
Clear film
Untextured and brighter than coated. Attack comes through more sharply, useful when the kick sits under a band.
Detail 04
Single-ply with damping ring
Keeps single-ply sensitivity and low-end body while the ring removes the ring. Less dead than a fully muffled head.
Detail 05
18 in.
Matches an 18 inch shell. Smaller kicks trade depth for punch and articulation.
Detail 06
Batter side
Goes on the pedal side. Your front resonant head still shapes how much the drum breathes.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Front resonant head not included; it changes the sound as much as this one
- 02Measure the shell, not the hoop, to confirm 18 inches
- 03Built-in muffling means less to adjust if you want it open
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I still need a pillow inside?
Often not. The damping ring already cuts overtones. Add a pillow only if you want the kick fully dead.
02What does the impact patch do?
It reinforces the spot the beater hits, so the film wears more slowly under hard or frequent playing.
03Clear or coated for a bass drum?
Clear gives a brighter, more defined attack. Coated is warmer and softer. This one is clear.
04Will this fit a 20 inch bass drum?
No. Head diameter must match the shell. An 18 inch head only fits an 18 inch bass drum.
