Detail 01
Coated
The textured surface takes brushes and damps a little high end, giving a warmer, drier note than a clear head.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 18-inch coated tom head from Aquarian. For drummers replacing a floor tom head who want a coated surface rather than clear.
Strong match

- Replacing the head on an 18-inch floor tom
- Players who use brushes and need surface texture
- Drummers wanting a warmer, less ringy tom voice
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone with 16-inch or smaller toms
- Players who want the brighter attack of a clear head
- Bass drum or snare replacement
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
18 in.
Fits an 18-inch tom shell. Large floor tom size, so expect a low fundamental and long sustain.
Detail 03
Tom head
Made for stick and mallet work on a tom, not for kick beater impact or snare wires underneath.
Detail 04
Aquarian
Standard collar depth, so it seats on the bearing edge and clears the hoop like any other 18-inch head.
Detail 05
$45.99
Everyday replacement pricing for a large tom head. Cost per drum adds up if you are doing a full kit.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only — no hoop, tension rods, or resonant head included
- 02Confirm your tom is 18 inches at the bare shell before ordering
- 03Coated surface wears where sticks land; expect visible marks over time
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between coated and clear?
Coating adds texture that softens attack and shortens sustain slightly, and it gives brushes something to grip. Clear heads sound brighter and more open.
02Can I use this on a snare drum?
It is built as a tom head. Snare batters are designed for wire response underneath, so a tom head is not the right choice there.
03Does it work with brushes?
Yes. The coating is what brushes need to produce a sweep sound. A clear head gives you almost nothing.
04Do I need to buy two?
Only if you are replacing the resonant head as well. This is one head, so one drum's batter side.
