Strong match

Who this is for

  • Re-heading a 13-inch rack tom that's dented or dead
  • Drummers who want warmer, more controlled toms
  • Studio work where long tom ring gets in the way

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Snare drums — this is voiced and built for tom duty
  • Players chasing bright, glassy attack from a clear head
  • Kits without a 13-inch tom; sizes are not interchangeable

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

Coated finish

The textured white coating takes a little top-end off and warms the tone compared to a clear head.

Detail 02

13 in. size

Matches a 13-inch shell exactly. Measure the drum, not the rim or the hoop.

Detail 03

Tom batter head

Mounts on the top, stick side. The bottom resonant head is thinner and bought separately.

Detail 04

Super-2 line

Aquarian's Super-2 heads aim at controlled sustain and durability rather than maximum open ring.

Detail 05

Safe-T-Loop hoop bond

The film wraps through the hoop instead of sitting glued flat, which helps it stay seated under tension.

Detail 06

$32.99

Standard replacement pricing. Re-heading a full kit means buying one head per drum, per side.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Head only — no drum key, no hoop, no resonant head included
  2. 02Coating wears down over time; it's cosmetic wear before it's tonal
  3. 03Retune after the first few sessions as the head stretches and seats

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01What's the difference between coated and clear here?

The coating adds texture and takes some brightness off the attack, giving a warmer, slightly drier tom tone.

02Can I put this on a 13-inch snare?

It will fit a 13-inch snare shell, but it's built for tom voicing, not the high tension a snare batter sees.

03Does one head cover both sides of the tom?

No. This is the top batter head. The bottom resonant head is a separate, thinner head.

04How do I know my tom is 13 inches?

Measure the shell diameter across the top, inside the hoop. That measurement is the head size you need.
