YamahaFiberskyn 3 Concert Bass Drum Head 32 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 32-inch Fiberskyn 3 head for concert bass drum. Replacement for orchestra, wind ensemble, and pit percussion bass drums.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Orchestral and wind ensemble bass drum work
- Players wanting a warm, dark tone rather than a bright attack
- Replacing a stretched or dented head on a 32-inch concert bass
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Marching bass lines, which need field-tough heads in smaller sizes
- Drum set kick drums, which are far smaller and need different response
- Anyone whose shell is not 32 inches
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
32 in. diameter
A large concert bass size. Bigger heads move more air and produce a deeper, longer fundamental.
Detail 03
Concert bass head
Tuned low and loose for sustain and roll, unlike the high tension of a marching head.
Detail 04
Synthetic rather than real skin
Holds tuning through humidity and temperature swings far better than true calfskin, which shifts with the weather.
Detail 05
Single head, $116.99
A concert bass has two sides. Replacing both roughly doubles the cost.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only. The opposite side is a separate purchase.
- 02Measure the shell across the top, not the old head, to confirm 32 inches.
- 03Large heads take time to seat and settle. Tune, let it rest, then retune.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for marching or concert?
Concert. It is a 32-inch concert bass drum head tuned low for sustain, not a marching bass head.
02How is Fiberskyn different from a clear head?
The textured synthetic surface mimics calfskin, giving a warmer, darker tone with less high-end attack than a clear film head.
03Do I need to replace both sides at once?
Not required, but the two heads work as a pair. Matching them keeps the tone even and the tuning predictable.
04Will it fit a non-Yamaha concert bass drum?
Head sizing is standard, so a 32-inch head fits a 32-inch shell regardless of brand. Measure the shell to confirm.
