The Korena take

A 16-inch tom head with a center dot, priced low. For drummers replacing a floor tom head who want more attack and less overtone.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a worn 16-inch floor tom batter head
  • Drummers who want focused attack over long sustain
  • Stage and rehearsal use where extra durability matters

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drummers chasing maximum open ring and long sustain
  • Anyone needing a brush-friendly textured surface
  • Snare, kick, or any drum that isn't 16 inches

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

16 in.

Head diameter must match the drum shell exactly. Usually a floor tom size on a standard kit.

Detail 02

Power Dot

Added material at the center damps overtones and reinforces the main stick zone, so attack reads clearer.

Detail 03

Smooth (uncoated) surface

Brighter stick attack than a coated head, and brushes will not produce a proper sweep sound.

Detail 04

Tom batter head

Built for the top playing surface of a tom, not for a snare or kick drum.

Detail 05

$34.99

Entry-tier pricing, so budget for replacing it more often under heavy playing.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure the shell, not the old head — 16 in. means the drum's diameter
  2. 02Sold as a single head; no resonant head or tuning key included
  3. 03Plan to detune, seat, and retune after fitting; new heads stretch

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Does this fit a 16 inch floor tom?

Yes, if the drum is a true 16-inch diameter. It is a batter (top) head, so the bottom resonant head is separate.

02Can I use brushes on it?

No. The surface is smooth, so brushes slide without producing a sweep sound. Use the Texture Coated version instead.

03What does the dot actually do?

It adds mass in the center. That shortens sustain, cuts stray overtones, and puts more of the sound into the initial attack.

04Is one head enough for the drum?

For the playing side, yes. The resonant head underneath is a separate purchase and is not included here.
