Detail 01
Coated finish
Textured surface warms the attack slightly and cuts overtones versus clear. Also lets brushes actually sound.

AquarianForce Ten Coated Tom Head White Coated 12 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single 12-inch coated tom batter head from Aquarian's Force Ten line. For drummers replacing a rack tom head who hit hard.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rack tom batter replacement on a hard-hitting rock or metal kit
- Drummers who dent or split single-ply heads within weeks
- Adding coated warmth and stick texture to a bright tom
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz and light players wanting maximum tone and open sustain
- Anyone needing a resonant (bottom) head — this is a batter
- Drums with a tom size 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
12 in. size
Head diameter must match the drum shell exactly. A 12-inch head fits only a 12-inch tom.
Detail 03
Force Ten construction
Aquarian's reinforced-durability tom line. Built to survive heavy sticking rather than to maximize sustain.
Detail 04
Batter head
This is the head you strike, top side. The bottom resonant head is a separate purchase.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only — a full tom kit needs one per drum
- 02Measure the shell, not the old head's printed size, before ordering
- 03You will need a drum key to tension it; none included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a 12-inch tom?
Yes. Drum heads are sized by shell diameter, so a 12 in. head fits a 12 in. tom. Measure the shell across the bearing edge to confirm.
02Is this the top or bottom head?
Top. It is a batter head, meant to be struck. Resonant bottom heads are thinner and sold separately.
03Coated or clear — what's the difference here?
Coated has a textured white surface that slightly warms tone, tames overtones, and allows brush work. Clear is brighter with more sustain.
04Does it come with anything to install it?
No. You reuse the drum's existing hoop and tension rods, and you'll need a drum key to tune it.
