Detail 01
Single-ply film
One layer means more sustain, more overtone, and better response to soft strokes, but it dents sooner under heavy sticks.

AquarianClassic Clear Drumhead Clear 12 in.
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 12-inch single-ply clear tom head. For drummers who want open sustain and stick sensitivity on a rack tom rather than heavy control.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rack toms that need more sustain and pitch bend
- Jazz, funk, and lighter-touch playing
- Drummers who dampen to taste with gel or tape
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Hard hitters who dent heads quickly
- Players wanting a dry, controlled tom out of the box
- Anyone with a rack tom other than 12 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
Clear, not coated
Clear film gives a brighter attack and longer ring. Coated heads sound warmer and darker on the same drum.
Detail 03
12 in. size
Standard rack tom size on most five-piece kits. Match the shell diameter exactly, measured with the head off.
Detail 04
Classic Clear series
The open, ringing end of Aquarian's tom range, opposite in character to the two-ply Performance II heads.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Single batter head only, no drum key or dampening included
- 02You will likely want moongel or tape to tame the ring
- 03Retune after a few sessions as the new head stretches
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is this different from Performance II?
This is single-ply and clear, so it rings longer and responds to lighter playing. Performance II is two-ply, drier, punchier, and more durable.
02Does it ring a lot?
Yes, more than a two-ply head. That is the point of a single-ply clear head. Add a gel pad or a small piece of tape if it is too much.
03Can I use this on the bottom of a tom?
Yes. Single-ply clear film is commonly used as a resonant head, though resonant heads are typically thinner than batter heads.
04Will it fit a 12-inch snare?
It matches the diameter, but it lacks the thickness and response a snare batter needs. Use a snare-specific head.
