The Korena take

A stick-on pad for the bass drum head where the beater strikes. Protects the head and adds click to the attack.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Drummers wearing through bass drum heads at the beater contact point
  • Cutting through a loud stage mix with a sharper kick attack
  • Double pedal players with two beaters hitting the same head

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drummers chasing a soft, round, jazz-style kick tone
  • Anyone whose head is already dented or torn at the impact spot
  • Players who want to change the attack sound show to show

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

Double pad

Covers two strike points, so a double pedal's beaters both land on protected surface instead of one being off the pad.

Detail 02

Adhesive-backed

Sticks directly to the batter head. It's a semi-permanent bond — repositioning after it sets is difficult.

Detail 03

Hard impact surface

The beater hits plastic rather than mylar, which sharpens the attack transient and makes the kick more audible unmiked.

Detail 04

Mounts on the outside of the batter head

No need to remove the head or detune the drum. It goes on with the pedal pulled back.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Clean the head with alcohol before sticking, or the adhesive will lift under repeated strikes
  2. 02Placement is the whole job — set the beater against the head first, then mark
  3. 03Adds click; if your kick already sounds too clacky, this is the wrong direction

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Does a click pad change how the kick sounds?

Yes. The beater strikes hard plastic instead of the head, so the attack gets sharper and more defined. The low end underneath stays roughly the same.

02Can I remove it later?

It comes off, but the adhesive may leave residue and can pull at the head's coating. Treat placement as a one-time decision.

03Do I need this for a double pedal?

Not required, but two beaters double the wear on one spot. The double pad covers both strike points on a single head.

04Will it work with a felt beater?

Yes. Felt beaters get less click from it than plastic or wood beaters, but the head protection is the same either way.
