Strong match

Who this is for

  • Front head on a 26-inch kick in rock or heavy styles
  • Drummers wanting focused low end without stuffing pillows inside
  • Kits where a black front head suits the look

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Standard 22-inch kicks, which need a 22-inch head
  • Drummers wanting a fully open, boomy jazz bass drum
  • Anyone needing a batter head to strike

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

An underlay ring around the edge damps overtones at the head's rim. Built-in control, so less need for internal muffling.

Detail 02

Resonant head

This is the front head, facing the audience. Your pedal strikes the batter head on the other side.

Detail 03

26 in.

Fits 26-inch shells only. Larger than the common 22-inch kick, so double-check what you own.

Detail 04

Ebony film

Black film rather than clear. Slightly darker, less bright tone and a solid black front for the kit.

Detail 05

No pre-cut port hole

Comes solid. If you want a mic port, you cut it yourself or add an aftermarket port ring.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Confirm the shell is 26 inch. Bass drum sizes vary more than tom sizes.
  2. 02Front head only. The batter head your pedal hits is separate.
  3. 03Cutting a port hole is on you if you mic the kick from inside.

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Is this the head my pedal hits?

No. This is the resonant front head. The batter head on the pedal side is a separate purchase.

02Do I still need muffling inside the drum?

The built-in ring handles a lot of the overtones. Many drummers use little or no internal muffling with it. Add a small pillow if you want more attack.

03Can I cut a hole in it for a mic?

Yes. Many drummers cut an offset port. Use a proper hole cutter or a heated can, and a port ring keeps the edge from tearing.

04Will this fit a 24-inch bass drum?

No. This is 26 inch and must match your shell diameter. A 24-inch drum needs a 24-inch head.
