6 in. diameter
Measured rim to rim across the shell, not the playing surface. Head sizes are exact; a 6 in. head fits only a 6 in. drum.

AquarianStudio-X Drumhead 6 in.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 6 in. drumhead for small toms and compact kits. Sized for octobans, mini toms, and add-on percussion rather than a standard rack tom.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn head on a 6 in. mini tom
- Octoban or piccolo tom setups needing a matched head
- Compact or travel kits with small-diameter shells
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Standard 10, 12 or 13 in. rack toms
- Snare drums, which need a different head type
- Anyone who has not measured their shell diameter
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 a tom, not a snare. It goes on either the batter or resonant side depending on what you are replacing.
Detail 03
Studio-X series
Aquarian's studio-oriented tom line, designed for a shorter, more focused decay than a plain single-ply head.
Detail 04
Small diameter
6 in. shells are naturally high-pitched with short sustain. Head choice changes attack more than it changes pitch.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your shell rim to rim before ordering; 6 in. is an unusual size
- 02This is one head; a drum needs both batter and resonant sides
- 03A drum key is needed to seat and tune it evenly
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What drums actually take a 6 inch head?
Octobans, piccolo and mini toms, and some compact or travel kits. Standard rack toms start at 8 or 10 inches.
02Can I use this on a snare?
No. This is a tom head. Snare drums use a dedicated batter head and a much thinner snare-side head.
03Does one head cover the whole drum?
No. Each drum has a batter side and a resonant side. This is a single head, so buy two if you are replacing both.
04How do I know when to replace a head?
Visible dents, a dull or dead sound that will not tune out, or coating worn through in the strike zone.
