YamahaMarching Bass Drum Head with Fork Logo White 28 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
28-inch replacement head for a Yamaha marching bass drum. For drumlines carrying the larger bass voices that need a matching white head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a head on the low end of a five-drum bass line
- Keeping the bottom bass drum matching the rest of the line
- Stocking a spare for the largest drum in the section
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Smaller marching basses — sizes are not interchangeable
- Concert bass drums, which use a different head design
- Anyone who has not confirmed their shell diameter

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is a 28-inch head the same as a 26?
No. Marching bass heads are size-specific. A 28-inch head will not tension properly on a 26-inch shell.
02Why does this cost more than the 22-inch?
It is a larger head with more material. The construction and finish are the same across the sizes in this line.
03Do I need two for one drum?
Yes, if you are replacing both sides. A marching bass is struck on both heads, so each side wears independently.
04Will this work on any 28-inch bass drum?
It is built for marching bass drums. Concert bass drums and kick drums of the same diameter use different head types.
