Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 18-inch black tom head from Aquarian, sold as a single head. For drummers changing a floor tom head and wanting a dark finish.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Swapping a beaten 18-inch floor tom head
- Drummers matching a black-hardware or dark-finish kit
- Players who want an opaque head instead of clear
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Brush players — this is a film head, not coated
- Anyone with a 16- or 20-inch tom
- Drummers needing a bass drum or snare 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
Made for stick work on toms, not for kick beater impact or snare-side wire response.
Detail 03
Black film
Opaque, so the inside of the drum and any muffling stays hidden. Pure appearance choice, not a tone change.
Detail 04
Single head, $43.99
One head only. A full tom kit change means one per drum head you are replacing.
Detail 05
Aquarian
Universal sizing, so it fits an 18-inch tom from any drum brand.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only — no hoop, lugs or tension rods
- 02Check whether you need the batter or resonant side
- 03New heads stretch, so seat and retune after the first hour of playing
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit an 18-inch floor tom?
Yes. Heads are sized by shell diameter, so an 18-inch tom takes this head. Measure across the bearing edge to be sure.
02Can I play brushes on it?
Not well. This is a smooth film head, not coated, so brushes will not get the sweeping texture a coated head gives.
03Is black different in sound from clear?
The finish color itself does not change the sound. Choose it for looks and for hiding the inside of the drum.
04Is this one head or a pack?
One head. Each tom takes a batter and a resonant head, so count the drums you are changing before ordering.
