AquarianResponse 2 Drum Head - Black 12 in.
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 12-inch Aquarian Response 2 tom head in black. For drummers replacing a rack tom head, or changing a kit's look to black.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Re-heading a 12-inch rack tom that has lost its tone
- Building a black-head look across a full kit
- Replacing a head cracked at the collar or bearing edge
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Toms of any other diameter — 10, 13 and 14 need their own size
- Bass drums; a kick needs a purpose-built head
- Anyone needing all their toms done at once from one order
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
Sized for a rack or floor tom. Not a kick head — a 12-inch tom head and a bass head are built differently.
Detail 03
Black
A finish choice. It changes how the kit reads on a dark stage and under lights, not how the drum mounts.
Detail 04
Sold as one head
One head, one side, one drum. A four-tom kit done top and bottom is eight purchases.
Detail 05
Response 2
A specific Aquarian model. If you are matching heads across a kit, order the same model for every drum.
Detail 06
$31.99
Standard tom-head money. Toms get replaced more often than kicks, so budget for repeat buys.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Drum key not included — needed to seat and tune the new head
- 02Buy one per drum; a full kit takes several
- 03Black shows stick marks and dust more than a natural finish
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a 13-inch tom?
No. Head sizes match the shell diameter exactly and do not stretch to fit. A 13-inch tom needs a 13-inch head.
02How do I measure my tom?
Pull the old head and measure straight across the bare wood shell. That figure is your head size. Ignore the metal hoop's diameter.
03Does the black finish affect the sound?
Treat it as a look. Buy the color you want on stage, and choose the head model for how you want the drum to sound.
04Can I use this on the bottom of the tom?
Resonant heads are built thinner than batter heads for a reason. If you want a matched black look top and bottom, check what the resonant side calls for.
