Detail 01
15 in. size
Measure the shell diameter, not the old head's outer hoop. A 15-inch shell takes a 15-inch head.

AquarianPerformance II Drum Head - 15 in.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 15-inch single-ply tom head from Aquarian at a low price point. For drummers replacing a worn head on a floor tom or rack tom.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a dented or dead 15-inch tom head
- Stocking spare heads for a gigging kit
- Refreshing an older kit without a big spend
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Snare drums, kick drums, or any size other than 15 inch
- Drummers wanting a matched full-kit head set in one purchase
- Anyone needing a bottom resonant head — this is a batter head
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
Tom head, not snare or kick
Built for tom tuning ranges. Snare-side and bass drum heads are constructed differently and are not interchangeable.
Detail 03
Single head, sold individually
One drum gets one head. A full kit re-head means buying each size separately.
Detail 04
Aquarian build
Uses Aquarian's own hoop and collar, which seats on standard drum shells without shimming.
Detail 05
Batter side
Goes on the top, the side you strike. The bottom resonant head is a separate purchase.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your tom is 15 inch — 14 and 16 are far more common sizes
- 02Head only. No hoop, lugs, tension rods, or drum key included
- 03Plan to seat and re-tune it; a new head stretches for the first few sessions
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I know what size drum head I need?
Measure straight across the top of the bare drum shell, edge to edge, with the old head off. That number is your head size. Don't measure the metal hoop.
02Does this go on the top or bottom of the drum?
Top. It is a batter head, meant for the side you strike. The bottom resonant head is a separate item.
03Can I use this on a 15-inch snare?
It is built as a tom head, not a snare batter. It will physically fit a 15-inch shell, but snare-specific heads are made for that tuning and response.
04How often should I replace a tom head?
When it stops holding tune, sounds dead, or shows visible dents and stretch marks. Hard-hitting players go through them faster than light players.
