AquarianTexture Coated Drum Head 12 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 12-inch coated batter head for a rack tom. Straightforward replacement for drummers who want a textured playing surface at a low price.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn stock head on a 12-inch rack tom
- Players who use brushes and need a textured surface
- Restocking a practice kit without spending much per drum
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers wanting a clear, bright, uncoated attack
- Anyone needing a snare-side or resonant head
- Kits with no 12-inch drum — 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 02
Coated
Textured surface takes brushes and slightly softens stick attack compared to a clear head.
Detail 03
Batter head
Goes on the top, struck side. The bottom resonant head is a separate purchase.
Detail 04
Aquarian
Standard drum head sizing, so it fits any 12-inch tom regardless of the kit's brand.
Detail 05
Single head, $29.99
Priced per head. Re-heading a full kit means buying one for each drum size.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Ships as one head only — no hoop, lugs, or tension rods included
- 02You need a drum key to seat and tune it evenly
- 03Coating wears down over time and with heavy stick play
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit a 12 inch tom?
Yes, if the shell measures 12 inches across. Drum head sizes refer to the shell diameter, not the rim, and are standard across brands.
02Is this for the top or bottom of the drum?
It's a batter head, meant for the top, struck side. Resonant bottom heads are thinner and sold separately.
03Can I use brushes on it?
Yes. The coated surface is what gives brushes something to grip, so sweeps and swirls actually sound.
04Do I need any tools to install it?
A drum key. Remove the hoop, seat the new head, then tighten the tension rods in a star pattern.
