RemoRenaissance Emperor Bass Drum Heads 36 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 36-inch coated bass drum head with two plies, built for the deep marching and concert bass drums that use that size. Replacement part, not a kit.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert bass drums in orchestra or wind ensemble settings
- Marching bass drums that need a durable two-ply head
- Players wanting a warm, controlled note over an open ring
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum set players — standard kick drums are 18 to 24 inches
- Anyone wanting a bright, open, resonant tone
- Buyers who have not measured their shell diameter
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
Emperor two-ply construction
Two layers of film shorten sustain and cut overtones. More durable and lower-pitched than a single-ply head.
Detail 03
36 in. size
Head diameter matches the shell rim, not the shell interior. A 36-inch shell takes a 36-inch head.
Detail 04
Batter-side use
This is the struck side. The resonant side of a concert bass drum usually takes a different, thinner head.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your shell rim to rim — bass drum sizes are not always marked
- 02Head only. No tuning key, hoop, or hardware included
- 03Two-ply heads take longer to settle in tune after mounting
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a standard kick drum?
No. Kick drums on a drum set run 18 to 24 inches. 36 inches is a concert or marching bass drum size.
02Is this the batter or resonant head?
It is built as a batter head — the side you strike. For the front head, use a thinner single-ply designed for resonance.
03How do I know what size head I need?
Measure the drum straight across the top rim, edge to edge. That measurement is the head size.
04Does two-ply mean less sustain?
Yes. The second layer damps overtones and shortens ring, giving a shorter, more focused note than a single-ply head.
