Strong match

Who this is for

  • Kick drums that ring too long in a tight room
  • Live and studio work where a punchy attack matters
  • Replacing a worn 22-inch batter or front head

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drummers chasing a long, open, sustaining kick tone
  • Anyone with a 20-inch or 24-inch bass drum
  • Players who want a clear head's brighter 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 at the edge damps overtones at the source, so you need less internal muffling.

Detail 02

Coated surface

Takes some brightness off the attack and warms the overall tone versus a clear head.

Detail 03

22 inch

Measures the drum's outer shell diameter, not the head's playing surface. A 22-inch drum takes a 22-inch head.

Detail 04

Bass drum head

Built for kick duty specifically. Works as batter or front head depending on how you set the drum up.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Head only. No hoop, tension rods, muffling pillow or beater included
  2. 02Measure the drum shell across the top, not an old head's printed size
  3. 03Detune and retune evenly in a star pattern to seat it properly

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Does this fit a 22-inch bass drum?

Yes. Bass drum heads are sized to the shell diameter, so a 22-inch drum takes this head.

02Coated or clear for kick?

Coated is warmer with a softer attack. Clear is brighter and more cutting. This one is coated.

03Do I still need a muffling pillow?

Often no. The inlay ring already controls ring. Add muffling only if you want a very dead thud.

04Can I use this as a front head?

Yes, though it has no port hole. You would need to cut one yourself for miking.
