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
Performance II series
Aquarian's two-ply-style workhorse line. Aimed at durability and a controlled tone rather than maximum ring.
Detail 03
Tom batter head
Goes on the top, playing side. The resonant head underneath is a separate purchase with different thickness.
Detail 04
$18.95
Bottom of the head market. A full kit's worth of toms costs roughly three of these plus resonant heads.
Detail 05
Aquarian hoop and collar
Standard drum hoop dimensions, so it seats on any 12-inch shell regardless of drum brand.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only. Toms need a resonant head underneath, sold separately.
- 02You need a drum key to tension it. None included.
- 03Measure the shell, not the old head's hoop, to confirm 12 inches.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for the top or bottom of the tom?
The top, playing side. It is a batter head. Resonant heads for the underside are thinner and sold separately.
02Will it fit my 12-inch tom?
Yes, if the shell measures 12 inches across. Drum head sizes are standard across brands, so shell diameter is the only thing to check.
03Do I need special tools to install it?
A drum key to loosen the old head's tension rods and tune the new one. That is all.
04How does it sound compared to a stock head?
Aquarian's Performance II is a step up from the generic heads that ship on budget kits, with more even tone and less uncontrolled overtone.
