Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A single 24-inch coated bass drum head. For drummers with a 24" kick who want a focused, pre-dampened thud without stuffing the drum with pillows.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Rock and pop kits where the kick needs punch, not sustain
  • Players who want built-in muffling instead of internal pillows or gels
  • Replacing a worn batter head on an existing 24" kick

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone whose bass drum is not exactly 24 inches
  • Jazz players wanting a long, open, resonant kick note
  • Drummers replacing a full kit's worth of heads at once

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

24 in.

Head size must match the drum's shell diameter exactly. A 22" kick will not take this.

Detail 02

Coated

The textured surface takes some high-end off the attack, giving a rounder, drier note than a clear head.

Detail 03

Powerstroke 3

Built with a dampening underlay at the edge, so overtones and sustain are controlled before you add anything.

Detail 04

Bass drum head

Cut and built for kick tension and beater impact. Not interchangeable with tom or snare heads.

Detail 05

Single head

One head only. A kick uses two, so a full rehead means buying a front head separately.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure the shell diameter, not the old head's outer hoop, before ordering
  2. 02No port hole, mic mount, or patch is included
  3. 03Beater impact wears the center fast; a patch extends head life

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Is this the batter side or the front head?

It works as either. Most drummers use it as the batter side, where the built-in dampening controls the beater attack. Some use it on the front for a matched, drier sound.

02Will this fit a 22-inch bass drum?

No. Drum heads are sized to the shell diameter and there is no adjustment. A 24-inch head only fits a 24-inch bass drum.

03Do I still need a pillow inside?

Often not. The head is already dampened at the edge. Start with nothing inside, tune it up, and add muffling only if there's still too much ring.

04Coated or clear for a kick?

Coated is warmer and drier with a softer attack. Clear gives more click and cut. Coated suits rock, pop, and anything where the kick should sit under the mix.
