Detail 01
18 in.
Head size is the shell diameter, not the depth. An 18-inch drum takes an 18-inch head, whatever its depth.

AquarianPerformance II Drum Head - 18 in.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 18-inch tom head from Aquarian's Performance II line. A low-cost replacement for a floor tom that needs to sound controlled rather than exotic.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Re-heading a worn 18-inch floor tom
- Hard hitters who dent thin heads quickly
- Rebuilding a kit one head at a time
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing long, ringing, wide-open sustain
- Snare or kick drums, which use different heads
- Anyone wanting a matched pack for a whole kit
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
Built for tom tension ranges. Snare and bass drum heads are constructed differently and are not interchangeable.
Detail 03
Performance II
Aquarian's general-purpose tom head. Sits between a bright, thin head and a heavily muffled one, so tuning stays predictable.
Detail 04
Sold as one head
Covers one side of one drum. Re-heading both sides of a four-piece kit means buying eight heads.
Detail 05
$37.99
Priced as a consumable. Heads are wear parts and get replaced, so cost per head matters more than on hardware.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01A drum key is needed to swap it; none is included
- 02Measure the shell diameter, not the old head's outer hoop
- 03Retune after an hour of playing as the film stretches
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit an 18-inch floor tom?
Yes. An 18-inch head fits an 18-inch shell regardless of the drum's depth. Measure across the shell itself, not the outer rim of the old head.
02Is this the batter head or the bottom head?
It can go either side, but it is made to be struck. Most drummers put it on top as the batter and leave a thinner head on the bottom.
03How many heads come in the pack?
One. Each drum takes one head per side, so re-heading a full kit means buying several.
04Do I need anything else to install it?
A drum key. Everything else you need is already on the drum, since the existing hoop and tension rods are reused.
