Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a worn 18-inch floor tom batter head
  • Drummers who retune often and want a stable head
  • Budget kit refreshes where every drum needs new heads

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone needing a snare head — this is a tom size
  • Kits with no 18-inch drum; sizes do not stretch
  • Drummers wanting a specific coated or clear look confirmed before buying

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 01

18 in.

Fits an 18-inch drum by shell diameter, not by rim measurement. Measure the shell, not the hoop.

Detail 02

Tom head

Tuned for tom range. Putting it on a bass drum or snare gives you the wrong response and wear.

Detail 03

Aquarian

Aquarian uses a Safe-T-Loc hoop design, so the head seats without slipping as you crank tension.

Detail 04

$36.99

One head, one drum. A full tom set means buying several, so price the whole kit before deciding.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01One head only — no tuning key, no dampening rings included
  2. 02Check whether your 18-inch drum is a floor tom or bass drum
  3. 03Retune over a few sessions; new heads settle and drop pitch

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Is this a batter or resonant head?

It is sold as a tom head in 18 inch. Match it to the side you are replacing, and check the drum's existing head before ordering.

02Will this fit my 18-inch floor tom?

Yes, if the drum measures 18 inches across the shell. Drum head sizes go by shell diameter, so measure the shell rather than the outer hoop.

03Do I need a special tuning key?

No. A standard drum key fits. One is not included here, so buy separately if you do not own one.

04Can I use this on a bass drum?

Not recommended. It is built for tom tuning and response. An 18-inch bass drum needs a head made for that job.
