Detail 01
Two-ply (Super-2)
Two films together shorten sustain and cut high overtones. Fewer stray rings, less need for muffling.

AquarianSuper-2 Coated Drumhead 16 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Coated two-ply 16-inch tom batter head. For drummers who want controlled sustain and a warmer attack on a floor tom without adding muffling.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Floor toms in loud rooms where an open head rings too long
- Drummers who hit hard and split single-ply heads
- Getting a warmer, drier attack without taping or gel pads
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing maximum sustain and open resonance from a tom
- Resonant-side use — this is a batter head
- Anyone needing brush response; two-ply coating is less articulate than single-ply
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
Textured surface takes some edge off the attack and warms the tone versus a clear head.
Detail 03
16 in.
Sized to a 16-inch drum, typically a floor tom. Head size must match the drum shell diameter, not the hoop.
Detail 04
Batter head
Goes on the top, playing side. The bottom resonant head is a separate purchase.
Detail 05
Coated over clear
Coating wears off where the stick lands, so it looks worn before it fails.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only. A 16-inch floor tom also needs a resonant head underneath.
- 02Measure the drum shell, not the old head or the hoop.
- 03New heads need seating and retuning 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. It's a batter head, made for stick contact. The resonant side takes a thinner, separate head.
02Will this make my floor tom less ringy?
Yes. Two plies damp high overtones and shorten sustain compared to a single-ply head, so you may not need tape or gels.
03Does the coating wear off?
The coating wears where you strike it. That's normal and cosmetic — the head keeps playing until the film fails.
04What size drum does a 16-inch head fit?
A 16-inch diameter shell. Measure the shell itself, since hoop and head-size numbers refer to the drum, not the rim.
