What matters in use
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
Matches the shell's bearing edge diameter, not the hoop or the head's total width. Measure the shell itself.
Detail 02
Brighter attack and longer sustain than a coated head of the same build. Nothing dampens the surface.
Detail 03
Extra layer of film bonded where the beater strikes, so the wear point takes the abuse instead of the head.
Detail 04
Built for beater impact on a kick, not stick work. Collar depth is cut for bass drum shells.
Detail 05
Remo's damped bass drum series — less ring and shorter decay than a plain single-ply head.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
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.
It's a batter head — the side the beater strikes. The impact patch and bass drum build are for beater contact.
Often not. This is a damped design that already cuts ring. Add a pillow only if you want a shorter, drier note.
Clear gives more attack and sustain. Coated softens the top end. This one is clear.
