16 in. size
Floor tom territory on most kits. Measure your shell diameter directly, since head sizes do not forgive being off by an inch.

AquarianPerformance II Drum Head - 16 in.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 16-inch two-ply tom head for floor toms. For drummers who want a controlled, punchy low note without adding external dampening.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Floor toms that boom and wash in small rooms
- Rock and pop players wanting tight low-end
- Replacing a worn or dented 16-inch batter head
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing long, open floor tom sustain
- Anyone with a 14 or 18-inch floor tom
- Drummers wanting a single-ply, sensitive feel
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
Two-ply Performance II film
Two plies cut high overtones and add durability, so the drum speaks with more fundamental and less ring.
Detail 03
No center dot
Unlike the Power Dot version, the strike zone is uniform, giving a slightly more even feel across the head.
Detail 04
Batter head
Goes on the top, struck side. The resonant head underneath is a separate part and affects sustain just as much.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only, no drum key, muffling rings, or resonant head included
- 02Large heads take longer to settle, so expect several retunings
- 03Seat the head by pressing the center before final tuning
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a one-ply or two-ply head?
Two-ply. That means shorter sustain, more durability, and a fatter low fundamental than a comparable single-ply head.
02Will this work as a bass drum head?
No. A 16-inch bass drum is uncommon and this is voiced as a tom batter. Use a dedicated bass drum head.
03Do I still need moongel or tape?
Often not. The two-ply construction damps much of the overtone on its own. Add dampening only if the drum still rings too long.
04How do I know my floor tom is 16 inches?
Remove the old head and measure the shell diameter across the top edge. Do not measure the hoop or the old head's rim.
