Strong match

Who this is for

  • Miking a kick drum without drilling or cutting the front head
  • Gigging kits where a black front head suits the look
  • Players wanting a shorter, punchier kick decay

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drummers wanting a fully sealed, boomy resonant head
  • Anyone needing a blank head for a custom logo or graphic
  • Kits with a 20" or 24" bass drum

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

Resonant head

This is the front head, not the one the pedal strikes. Your batter head is a separate purchase.

Detail 02

5" port hole

Pre-cut opening lets a mic sit inside the drum and vents air, shortening sustain and tightening the attack.

Detail 03

Powerstroke 3 design

The underlay damping ring at the edge cuts unwanted overtones, so the kick reads as thump rather than boom.

Detail 04

Ebony film

Opaque black head. You cannot see the internal muffling or the inside of the shell through it.

Detail 05

22 in.

Matches a 22" bass drum shell — the most common rock and general-purpose kick size.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Port is off-center; plan mic stand placement and check clearance before mounting
  2. 02Batter head not included — this is the front head only
  3. 03Removing the front head means unseating the hoop and all tension rods

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Do I still need internal muffling?

Often less than before. The damping ring and the port already shorten the decay. Many drummers add a small pillow or blanket through the port to tighten it further.

02Which side of the drum does this go on?

The front, facing the audience. It is a resonant head and is not built to take pedal beater strikes.

03Can I mount a mic through the port?

Yes. A 5" hole clears most kick mics on a short stand. Position and mic size determine how far in you can go.

04Will a logo decal stick to it?

It is a plain black head with no logo cutout. Adhesive graphics can be applied, but they add mass and change how the head resonates.
