RemoPowerstroke 3 Ebony Resonant Bass Drum Head 18 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
18-inch resonant (front) bass drum head with a black finish and Powerstroke 3 damping. For kick drums needing a controlled, focused front side.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Compact 18-inch kick drums in jazz or small-room setups
- Players wanting a shorter, punchier kick note
- Replacing a worn or ported front head
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Batter-side use — this is the front head
- Any kick other than 18 inch
- Players who want a long, open, ringing kick sustain
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 02
Powerstroke 3 design
Built-in damping at the edge trims overtones, so the drum needs less internal muffling.
Detail 03
18 in.
Fits an 18-inch kick only. Head size matches the drum's diameter, not the hoop.
Detail 04
Ebony finish
Black film. Slightly darker tone than clear, and hides marks on a front-facing head.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No port hole — you cut one yourself if you want mic access
- 02Head only; no hoop, lugs, or tension rods included
- 03Measure the shell diameter, not the old head's printed size
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the front head or the batter head?
The front. It faces the audience and controls sustain and projection. The batter head is the one your pedal strikes.
02Does it come with a port hole?
No. It ships solid. Cut a port yourself if you need mic placement or want a drier sound.
03Will this fit a 20-inch kick?
No. It fits an 18-inch bass drum only.
04Do I still need internal muffling?
Usually less. The Powerstroke 3 edge damping already cuts overtones, so a pillow or blanket may be unnecessary.
