Detail 01
Resonant, not batter
This is the front head. It never takes a beater strike, so do not fit it pedal-side.

RemoPowerstroke 3 Ebony Resonant Bass Drum Head 20 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 20-inch black resonant head for the front of a bass drum. Replacement part for players who want a controlled, dry front tone.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn or dented front bass drum head
- Kits where you want less ring and a shorter decay
- Matching a black-wrap or black-hardware kit visually
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a batter head for the pedal side
- Bass drums that are not 20 inches
- Players chasing a wide open, long-sustaining boom
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
20-inch size
Measure the shell, not the old head, since head sizing follows shell diameter.
Detail 03
Powerstroke 3 design
Built-in damping at the edge, so it tames overtones without you adding pillows or tape.
Detail 04
Ebony finish
Opaque black film. Slightly darker, drier attack than a clear head and it hides the shell interior.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Decide whether you need a ported version before ordering; a solid front head changes mic placement.
- 02No hoop, claws or tension rods included; you reuse your existing hardware.
- 03Seat and tune it evenly, or the front head will buzz against the batter.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the front head or the beater head?
The front. Resonant means the non-struck side of the bass drum. Use a batter head on the pedal side.
02Will it fit a 22-inch bass drum?
No. Bass drum heads are not adjustable. A 20-inch head only fits a 20-inch shell.
03Do I still need muffling inside the drum?
Often less. The Powerstroke 3 already damps the edge, so start with no pillow and add one only if it still rings.
04Does it come with a port hole?
Check the version you are ordering. Ported and solid front heads both exist, and it changes how you mic the drum.
