Strong match

Who this is for

  • 20-inch bass drums on jazz, funk and studio kits
  • Players who want a shorter note straight out of the box
  • Rooms where an untamed kick sounds boomy

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone whose bass drum is not 20 inches
  • Players chasing a long, open, resonant kick tone
  • Heavy metal players wanting maximum click and attack

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

Powerstroke 3 design

An underlay ring around the edge removes overtones at the perimeter, so the note stops sooner.

Detail 02

Coated surface

The white coating warms the attack slightly compared to a clear head and softens beater click.

Detail 03

Single ply

One layer of film. More body and tone than a heavy two-ply, with less durability.

Detail 04

20 in. size

Sized to a 20-inch bass drum shell. Measure the shell, not the hoop, before ordering.

Detail 05

Head only

Reuses your existing bass drum hoop, claws and tension rods. Nothing else to swap.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No beater patch included. Add one before playing with a hard beater.
  2. 02Nothing else in the box: no hoop, claws, rods or pillow.
  3. 03Detension fully, seat the new head, then tighten in a star pattern.

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Do I need internal muffling with this head?

Often not much. The edge ring already shortens the note. Start with the drum empty and add a small towel only if you want it drier.

02Coated or clear Powerstroke 3?

Coated gives a slightly warmer, less clicky attack. Clear leans brighter with a bit more beater definition. Both use the same edge dampening ring.

03Will it fit a 22-inch kick?

No. Bass drum heads match the shell diameter. A 20-inch head only fits a 20-inch bass drum.

04Can I use this as a front head?

It is made as a batter head. Front heads are usually thinner and often ported, so pick a resonant head for that side.
