The model number for this bass drum head is typically P4-1322-C2 (sometimes listed as P4-1322-BP).3

Key Features for a Powerful and Controlled Bass Drum Sound

The P4 Clear drumhead is engineered with specific attributes to deliver a consistent, high-performance sound:

• Two-Ply 7mil Mylar Film Construction: This head is constructed with two plies of 7-mil clear Mylar film, giving it a total thickness of 14mil. This dual-ply construction is extremely durable, capable of withstanding heavy, repeated impact from double pedals and hard-hitting styles.4

• 3-mil Inner Inlay Ring: The key dampening feature of the Powerstroke P4 series is the 3-mil inlay ring that is placed on the underside of the head, near the collar. This ring works to dampen the unwanted high-frequency overtones and shorten the sustain, focusing the sound into a deep, punchy “thud.”

• Focused Low-End and Attack: The combination of the thick two-ply film and the inlay ring results in a very focused low-end tone with a well-defined attack.5 The sound is powerful, fat, and quick, rather than long and boomy.

• Clear Finish: The clear film provides a brighter initial attack and more projection compared to a coated version, helping the kick drum cut through a loud band mix.

• Ideal for Genres: Due to its immense durability and highly controlled, punchy sound, the P4 is a favorite choice for genres that demand power and minimal sustain, such as Metal, Hard Rock, and Fusion.

The Remo Powerstroke P4 Clear 22″ Drum Head is an excellent choice for drummers who require a professional-grade bass drum head that delivers a powerful, controlled tone and the ultimate in longevity.
