Strong match

Who this is for

  • Kick drums with a 26-inch shell diameter
  • Replacing a head worn through at the beater spot
  • Players who want built-in beater-wear protection

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drums of any other diameter — heads do not stretch to fit
  • Players wanting a coated or fully unmuffled single-ply head
  • Snare, tom, or hand drum use

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

26 in.

Matches the shell's bearing edge diameter, not the hoop or the head's total width. Measure the shell itself.

Detail 02

Clear film

Brighter attack and longer sustain than a coated head of the same build. Nothing dampens the surface.

Detail 03

Impact patch

Extra layer of film bonded where the beater strikes, so the wear point takes the abuse instead of the head.

Detail 04

Bass drum head

Built for beater impact on a kick, not stick work. Collar depth is cut for bass drum shells.

Detail 05

Powerstroke 3

Remo's damped bass drum series — less ring and shorter decay than a plain single-ply head.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Head only. No muffling pillow, hoop, tension rods, or drum key included.
  2. 02Confirm this is the batter side you need — front heads are usually ported or different.
  3. 03Seat and detension the new head, then tune in a star pattern.

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Will this fit a 26-inch bass drum?

Yes, if the shell measures 26 inches across the bearing edge. Drum head sizes refer to shell diameter, so measure the shell, not the hoop.

02Is this the batter head or the front head?

It's a batter head — the side the beater strikes. The impact patch and bass drum build are for beater contact.

03Do I still need a muffling pillow?

Often not. This is a damped design that already cuts ring. Add a pillow only if you want a shorter, drier note.

04Clear or coated for a kick?

Clear gives more attack and sustain. Coated softens the top end. This one is clear.
