Detail 01
Two-ply construction
Two thin sheets instead of one thicker one. Shortens sustain, drops the pitch slightly, and survives hard hitting.

AquarianSuper-2 Coated Drumhead 12 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
12-inch two-ply coated tom head. For drummers who want a fatter, more controlled tom note with less ring than a single-ply.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock and loud playing where a single-ply tom rings too long
- Drummers who hit hard and dent thin heads
- Recording sessions where you want short, focused tom decay
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz players wanting open, singing toms with long sustain
- Anyone needing a snare or kick head — this is a 12-inch tom size
- Drummers chasing maximum sensitivity at low volumes
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
Coated surface
White textured coating damps high overtones and warms the attack. Also makes brush work possible on a tom.
Detail 03
12 in. size
Matches a 12-inch tom shell measured across the drum, not the rim. Rack tom size on most kits.
Detail 04
Tom head, not snare or bass
Batter head for the top of a tom. No snare-side thinness, no bass drum reinforcement.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the drum shell diameter, not the hoop, before ordering the size
- 02One head only — no tuning key, no bottom head included
- 03New two-ply heads stretch; retune after the first hour of playing
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?
Top. This is a batter head — the side you strike. Bottom resonant heads are thinner and usually clear.
02Will it make my toms sound deeper?
Slightly. Two plies add mass, which lowers the fundamental a little and cuts the high ring, so toms read as fatter and shorter.
03Can I use brushes on it?
Yes. The coating gives brushes something to grab, unlike a clear head.
04How long will it last compared to a single-ply head?
Longer. The second ply absorbs stick impact, so it holds up better under hard hitting and takes longer to dent or pit.
