Strong match

Who this is for

  • Jazz and roots kits wanting dry, short bass drum decay
  • Players who dislike muffling with pillows or internal dampers
  • Recording sessions needing a controlled, pre-EQ'd low end

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Metal or hard rock players wanting sharp attack and click
  • Anyone with a bass drum other than 22 inches
  • Players wanting an open, ringing, resonant kick

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 design

An underlay ring at the edge kills overtones and shortens sustain, so you get thump without stuffing the drum.

Detail 02

Fiberskyn coating

Textured calfskin-look surface that warms the tone and softens the attack compared to clear film.

Detail 03

22 in. size

Matches a 22-inch bass drum shell. Head size is the drum diameter, not the hoop.

Detail 04

Batter head

This is the beater-side head. The front head with the port hole is a separate purchase.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your shell diameter, not the old head's printed size, before ordering
  2. 02Front resonant head is not included, only the batter side
  3. 03Seat and tune the head evenly after installing to avoid wrinkles

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Do I still need a pillow inside?

Usually not. The Powerstroke 3 ring does most of the damping already. Add a small pillow only if you want a completely dead, thudding sound.

02Is this the front or back head?

The batter head, which the beater strikes. It has no port hole and is not meant to face the audience.

03How is Fiberskyn different from a coated head?

Fiberskyn has a thicker, fibrous surface that mimics calfskin. It's warmer and darker than standard coated film, with less high-end snap.

04Will this fit a 20 or 24 inch drum?

No. Bass drum heads are sized to the shell diameter. A 22-inch head only fits a 22-inch bass drum.
