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
Clear film
Clear heads give more attack and sustain than coated. Brushes do not work on them — no surface texture.
Detail 03
Black
A darkened film. Visual choice mainly; it changes the look of the kit, not the mounting.
Detail 04
Tom head
Sized and built for tom tuning. Not intended for snare batter duty or a bass drum.
Detail 05
$19.99
Cheapest of the small tom heads here. Buying two gives you batter and resonant for one drum.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Single head — you need two to do both sides of one tom
- 02No drum key or dampening included
- 038-inch toms cut through more when tuned high; expect a short sustain
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is the black finish just cosmetic?
Mainly. It is a darkened version of the clear film. Choose it for how the kit looks rather than expecting a different feel under the stick.
02Can I use brushes on this head?
No. It is a clear film with no coating, so brushes have nothing to grip and will not produce a sweep sound.
03Will it fit an 8-inch tom from any brand?
Yes, if the drum shell measures 8 inches. Head sizing is by shell diameter and is consistent across brands.
04Do I need one or two?
One head covers one side. Replacing both batter and resonant on the same tom means buying two.
