1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 8-inch resonant head for the bottom of a small rack tom. Buy it to replace a dented or dead bottom head, or when rebuilding a kit.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a torn or creased bottom head on an 8" tom
- Rebuilding an older kit one drum at a time
- Matching the resonant side to an EC batter head
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing a batter head — this goes on the bottom
- Anyone with a 10" or larger tom
- Drummers wanting a big tonal change from one head
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
8 in.
Fits an 8" shell only. Drum head sizes are the shell diameter, not the hoop.
Detail 03
Sold as one head
Covers the bottom of one 8" tom. A full tom rebuild needs a batter head too.
Detail 04
EC series
Part of Evans' EC line, so it tunes and sounds consistent alongside EC batter heads.
Detail 05
$22.99
Entry-level price for a single head. Re-heading a four-tom kit adds up quickly.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell diameter, not the old head or the hoop
- 02No tuning key included — you need one to seat it
- 03Bottom heads on small toms outlast batters; check yours before replacing
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the top or bottom head?
Bottom. Resonant heads sit on the underside of the tom, opposite the side you hit. The batter head is a separate purchase.
02Will this fit a 10-inch tom?
No. Head sizes match the shell diameter exactly, so an 8" head only fits an 8" tom.
03Do I need to change the bottom head as often as the top?
No. Resonant heads take no stick contact and last much longer. Replace when dented, creased, or the tom loses sustain.
04Does this come with anything else?
It's a single 8" resonant head. No tuning key, no batter head, no hardware.
