The Korena take

A 10-inch coated Aquarian tom head at a low price point. For replacing the batter head on a small rack tom.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Small rack toms on compact or fusion-sized kits
  • Practice kits where heads get replaced often
  • Drummers wanting a tighter, drier small-tom voice

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone needing a 12- or 13-inch head
  • Players chasing long, open, ringing sustain
  • Snare-side or bass drum use

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

10 in.

Sized to a 10-inch shell diameter. It will not stretch onto an 11- or 12-inch tom.

Detail 02

Coated surface

Cuts some upper overtones. Small toms already sound bright, so this keeps the pitch focused.

Detail 03

Tom head

Tensioned for tom pitch ranges. Not interchangeable with a snare-side head.

Detail 04

Coated, not clear

Gives brushes a surface to work against, which clear heads do not.

Detail 05

$27.99 single head

One head. Re-heading several toms means buying one per drum in each size.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Single head — no drum key or hardware included
  2. 02Confirm your tom is 10 inches across the shell before ordering
  3. 03Small toms detune fastest; plan on retuning after the first session

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01What size drum does this fit?

A 10-inch tom. Measure the shell diameter, not the hoop or the old head's rim, to confirm.

02Can I use this on a 10 inch snare?

It is a tom head, not a snare-side head. Snare-side heads are much thinner and go on the bottom.

03How does the coating change the sound?

Coating adds surface damping, so the tom sounds warmer with less ring than a clear head at the same tuning.

04Do I need a drum key?

Yes, and one is not included. You need a key to remove the hoop and tension the new head evenly.
