What matters in use
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
Medium single-ply. Open and resonant with long sustain — the opposite of a pre-muffled kick head.
Detail 02
Flat non-textured surface. Takes printed logos and artwork well, which is why it is common as a front head.
Detail 03
Fits 26-inch shells only. Measure the shell diameter, not across the hoop.
Detail 04
Solid head. If you mic inside the drum, you will need to cut a port yourself or use it as the batter.
Detail 05
You supply the damping — a pillow, blanket, or external ring — if you want a shorter, drier note.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
No. It is a solid head. You would need to cut a port yourself with a proper hole cutter, or run the mic outside the drum.
Yes, though a medium single-ply will wear faster than a thicker batter head under a hard beater. Many drummers use it on the front.
No. This is a 26-inch head and will not seat on a smaller shell.
Depends on the sound you want. On its own it is open with long sustain. A pillow or blanket inside shortens the note considerably.
