Description
The Chord DHW-22 is a replacement drum head made for general use across a range of kits. It measures 22 inches, which suits most standard bass drums, and comes in a plain white finish that works well whether you want a clean look or a surface ready for miking up. If your existing head has worn through or lost its tone, this gives you a straightforward swap without much fuss.
We supply this as a general purpose head, so it handles everyday practice, rehearsals and gigs without needing anything specialist. The white coating (sometimes called a coated head in US shops) gives a slightly warmer sound than clear film and offers a little grip if you use brushes. Fitting is the same as any standard head: seat it over the shell, drop the hoop and counterhoop over the top, then tension the rods evenly until you reach the pitch you want.
Keeping a spare head or two around is sensible, since a split skin can end a session early. This 22in size is one of the more common bass drum measurements, so it should fit a wide selection of kits from beginners through to working drummers. Check your own drum diameter before ordering, as heads are sized to the shell rather than the hoop. Once fitted, give it a short spell to settle in before you set your final tuning.
