In this video, I've tested 7 of the top bass drum heads to help you find the right one for your sound. These are all fantastic options that are durable, versatile, and offer excellent sound quality.

I’ve done my best to give you an accurate sense of how each head performs. I used minimal EQ and compression, kept the mic position consistent, and also tuned each head the same. So what you’re hearing is as close to the raw sound as possible.

There is also zero muffling inside the bass drum (I'd usually have a pillow inside). But I wanted to provide the fairest comparison and best sound comparison I could offer for this video.

I’ve chosen these kick drum heads based on years of experience playing in all kinds of settings, and I’ve put them to the test to help you find the one that suits your needs. Let’s dive into my top picks and see which head can take your bass drum sound to the next level!
