Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I know if I need a 26-inch head?
Measure across the top of the shell itself, edge to edge, not the hoop or the old head. Marching bass sizes usually run in even inches.
02Is this the batter head or the front head?
Marching bass drums are struck on both sides. The logo side faces the audience, so this is typically fitted as the front head.
03Will it fit a non-Yamaha marching bass?
Yes, if that drum is 26 inches. Head diameter is standard across brands. The visible Yamaha logo is the thing to consider.
04Do I need any tools to install it?
A drum key. Seat the head, finger-tighten the rods, then bring them up evenly in a cross pattern.
