Detail 01
6 in.
An unusually small diameter. Confirm your drum is genuinely 6 inches before ordering; 8-inch toms are far more common.

1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 6-inch Aquarian Performance II tom head. For drummers with compact toms, add-on effect drums or junior kits that need an odd small size.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a head on a 6-inch effect or accent tom
- Compact and junior kits with undersized toms
- Percussion setups using small mounted drums
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Standard 10, 12 or 13-inch rack toms
- Snare drums, which take their own head types
- Anyone unsure of their drum size — 6 inch is uncommon
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
Aquarian's Performance II line, sized here for a small tom. Sold as a single head for one drum side.
Detail 03
Tom head
Built for a tom, not a snare batter or snare-side. Snare drums need thinner heads on the bottom.
Detail 04
Small diameter
Small heads reach full tension fast. Turn tuning rods in small increments or you will overshoot pitch.
Detail 05
Single head
Covers one side of one drum. Resonant side needs a separate head of the same diameter.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What drums use a 6-inch head?
Small effect toms, compact and junior kits, and mounted accent drums. Measure the shell diameter to confirm, since 6 inch is much smaller than a standard rack tom.
02Can I use this on a snare?
No. This is a tom head. Snare drums use a dedicated batter head on top and a thin snare-side head underneath.
03Is a drum key included?
No. You need your own drum key to loosen the hoop and tension the new head.
04Does this fit both the top and bottom?
It is one head for one side. If you are replacing both the batter and resonant sides, order two.
