Detail 01
Resonant head
Mounts on the bottom of the tom. It's never struck; it shapes sustain and how far the pitch bends down.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
14-inch resonant head for the bottom of a tom. Buy it as a pair with a batter head when you're rebuilding a tom's sound.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a dented or dead bottom tom head
- Drummers wanting controlled sustain and a clean pitch drop
- Recording where uncontrolled bottom-head ring is a problem
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs a head to hit — this is a bottom head
- Drummers chasing maximum open ring from the shell
- One-head-only replacements where the batter is the worn part
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
EC (Edge Control)
A damping ring near the edge trims the ringiest overtones while leaving the fundamental note intact.
Detail 03
14 inch
Matches a 14-inch tom shell. On most kits that's a floor tom or a large rack tom.
Detail 04
Bottom-head tuning
Tune it above the batter for a pitch drop, level with it for a longer, even sustain.
Detail 05
Thin resonant film
Resonant heads are thinner than batters — handle by the hoop and don't overtighten.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Batter head not included — you need one for the top
- 02Sold singly; a multi-tom kit needs one per drum
- 03Flipping the drum means pulling it off the mount or legs
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I hit this head?
No. It's a resonant head for the underside of the tom. Striking it will dent and split it quickly.
02Do I need to replace the batter head too?
Not required, but a worn batter will limit what a fresh resonant head does. Most drummers change both together.
03How tight should I tune it?
Tune it slightly higher than the batter for a downward pitch bend, or match the batter for even, longer sustain.
04Does the damping ring reduce volume?
It trims edge overtones rather than overall volume. The drum's fundamental note stays present.
