RemoAmbassador Coated Bass Drum Head 22 in.
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single-ply coated bass drum head for a 22-inch drum, the standard rock and general-purpose size. Open, warm tone that you muffle to taste.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Standard 22-inch kits needing a warmer, more open bass note
- Drummers who prefer to add their own muffling rather than buy it built in
- Replacing a stock head on an entry or mid kit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting an immediate short thud with no setup work
- Heavy hitters looking for maximum durability from a thin head
- Any bass drum that isn't 22 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
Single-ply Ambassador weight
Thin and resonant. Long sustain and a fuller note, but you'll add damping for most modern rock sounds.
Detail 03
22 inch
The most common bass drum size, so this is the default replacement for most five-piece kits.
Detail 04
Bass drum head
Beater-facing or front-facing both work. As a front head it opens the drum up; as a batter it's warm with soft attack.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No damping pillow or muffling ring included — plan on adding your own
- 02Sold as one head; you need two to redo both sides
- 03Costs less than the 18-inch version because 22 is the volume size
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this thin enough to dent from hard playing?
It's a single-ply head, so it's less durable than a two-ply. Heavy hitters using a hard beater should expect a shorter lifespan.
02Do I need to muffle it?
For rock, usually yes. There's no built-in damping, so a pillow or blanket touching the head shortens the note considerably.
03Can I cut a port hole in it?
Drummers commonly do on the front head. Use a proper hole cutter; a rough cut can start a tear at the edge.
04Why is the 22-inch cheaper than the 18-inch?
Volume. Twenty-two inches is the standard bass drum size and gets made in far higher quantities than bop sizes.
