What matters in use
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
Goes on the front of the bass drum, the side you do not hit. The batter head on the pedal side is a separate purchase.
Detail 02
An underlay ring around the edge damps overtones, so you get a shorter, tighter note with less muffling inside the drum.
Detail 03
Black, and slightly thicker-sounding than a clear head. Also the front-facing head on most kits, so it is the one people see.
Detail 04
Matches a 24-inch shell only. Bass drum heads are not adjustable, so the diameter has to be exact.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
It is built for the resonant side. The batter head takes pedal impact and is a different head, so buy that one separately.
No. It arrives solid. If you want a port for a mic or for a shorter note, you cut it yourself with a hole cutter.
Yes. The damping ring at the edge shortens the note compared to a plain single-ply head, so you often need less internal muffling.
Low. Bring it up just until the wrinkles disappear, then adjust slightly for how much sustain you want.
