AquarianSuper-2 Clear Drumhead 12 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 12-inch clear two-ply tom batter head. For drummers who want shorter sustain and more durability than a single-ply head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock and louder playing where single-ply heads dent too fast
- Rack toms that ring too long in a live mix
- Replacing worn stock heads on a starter or mid-level kit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz and light players who want long, open sustain
- Anyone needing a snare or bass drum head
- Players wanting a warm, coated attack rather than a bright one
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
Two-ply
Two layers of film. Shorter sustain, more attack focus, and much better dent resistance than single-ply.
Detail 03
Clear film
Brighter attack and more overtone cut than a coated head. Also lets shell wrap and interior show through.
Detail 04
Tom batter head
Goes on the top playing side. The bottom resonant head is separate and usually a thinner single-ply.
Detail 05
Super-2 design
Two thin plies rather than one thick one, so it keeps some tone rather than sounding choked.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm the shell measures 12 inches across the bearing edge, not the hoop
- 02Single head only — no resonant head, hoop or tension rods included
- 03Plan to detension, seat, and retune; a drum key is required
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for the top or bottom of the tom?
The top batter side. Bottom resonant heads are typically thinner single-ply, and a two-ply head down there will choke the drum's response.
02Clear or coated — which should I get?
Clear gives a brighter, more cutting attack. Coated is warmer and softer, and is required if you use brushes. For rock toms, clear is the common pick.
03Will a two-ply head make my tom sound dead?
It shortens sustain and tightens the tone compared to single-ply. It is not dead — you keep fundamental pitch, just with fewer high overtones and less ring.
04How do I know what size head my tom takes?
Remove the current head and measure the shell diameter across the bearing edge. That number is the head size. Do not measure the hoop.
