Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing the front head on a 20-inch bass drum
  • Miking the kick without cutting your own hole
  • Reaching inside to adjust a pillow or blanket

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players wanting a sealed front head for maximum boom
  • Bass drums that aren't 20 inches
  • Use as a batter — this is the front, non-struck side

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

5 in. port hole

Cut at the factory with a finished edge, so it won't tear the way a hand-cut hole can.

Detail 02

Powerstroke 3 damping ring

An inlay ring near the edge trims overtones, shortening the note into a tighter thud instead of a long boom.

Detail 03

Resonant head

The front head you don't hit. It shapes decay and projection; the batter side is a separate head.

Detail 04

Ebony black film

Opaque, so nothing inside the drum shows through under stage lights. No blank white face for a logo.

Detail 05

20 in. diameter

Matches shell size, not hoop size. A 20-inch head fits a 20-inch bass drum only.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Head only — no mic, mount, muffling, or hardware included
  2. 02The port is pre-cut, so you can't place it yourself
  3. 03Tension evenly, a little past finger-tight, working across the drum

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Can I put this on the batter side?

It's built as a resonant head. Use it on the front, and fit a batter head on the side you strike.

02Do I still need to cut a hole for my mic?

No. The 5-inch port is already there — slide the mic through it or park it just outside.

03Will the port make the kick sound thinner?

It shortens sustain and lets air escape, so the note is drier and punchier than a sealed front head.

04What size drum does this fit?

A 20-inch bass drum. Measure the shell diameter before ordering — 20 and 22 inch heads don't interchange.
