RemoPowerstroke 3 Simulated Calfskin Fiberskyn FA Bass Drum Head 24 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 24-inch bass drum batter head with a fabric-textured surface and built-in dampening ring. For kick drums that need a dry, vintage thump.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Jazz, roots, and country kits wanting an old-school kick sound
- Players who want dampening without stuffing a pillow inside
- Recording sessions needing a controlled, low-overtone kick
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone chasing a bright, open, modern rock kick attack
- Drummers with a 20 or 22 inch kick — wrong size
- Players who want a fully resonant, ringing 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 02
Powerstroke 3 design
An inlaid ring around the edge damps overtones at the perimeter. Cuts ring without external muffling.
Detail 03
24 in. size
Fits a 24-inch bass drum shell measured rim to rim. Common on rock and jazz kits with larger kicks.
Detail 04
Single-ply with edge ring
Keeps single-ply openness at the center while the ring tames the edge. Less choked than a full two-ply.
Detail 05
Batter side
This is the pedal-beater side. The front head is a separate purchase and usually has a port hole.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only. Pedal, beater, and muffling pillow are not included
- 02The built-in ring means you may not need internal dampening at all
- 03Textured surfaces show beater wear faster than smooth clear film
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I still need a pillow inside the drum?
Often not. The Powerstroke 3 ring already damps edge overtones. Try it bare first and add muffling only if the kick still rings too long.
02Does the beater chew up the textured surface?
The strike spot will show wear over time, more visibly than on clear film. It is cosmetic before it is structural.
03Will this fit a 22-inch kick drum?
No. This is a 24-inch head and only fits a 24-inch shell. Measure your drum straight across the rim.
04What does the Fiberskyn surface actually change?
It rounds off the attack and warms the tone compared to clear film, closer to an old calfskin head than to modern plastic.
