EvansEC2 SST Clear Batter Drum Head 10 in.
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 10-inch clear batter head for a rack tom, priced low enough to re-head a full kit. For drummers who want attack over warmth.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Re-heading a 10" rack tom on a rock or pop kit
- Drummers who want defined attack and a controlled decay
- Doing a whole-kit head change without a big spend
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers chasing a soft, warm, open jazz tom sound
- Anyone needing a brush-friendly surface — clear film won't respond
- Snare or bass drum use; this is sized and built for toms
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
Clear film
Brighter and more attack-forward than a coated head, with less of the dry, muted character coating adds.
Detail 03
10 in.
Sized to the drum's shell diameter, not the hoop. A 10" tom takes this; measure if unsure.
Detail 04
Tom head
Built for the tension and stick impact a tom sees, not the constant beater hits a bass drum takes.
Detail 05
Single head
One head per package. Re-heading a three-tom kit means three of the correct sizes.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only — no tuning key, dampening rings, or muffling included
- 02Budget a second head if you're replacing the bottom resonant side too
- 03Expect to detune, seat, and retune; a fresh head settles over first sessions
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit a 10 inch tom?
Yes. Drum head sizes match the shell diameter, so a 10" tom takes a 10" head. Measure across the top of the shell itself, not the rim or hoop.
02Clear or coated for toms?
Clear gives more attack and a brighter tone. Coated sounds warmer and drier and lets you use brushes. This one is clear, so it leans toward attack.
03Is this the top or bottom head?
Top. It's a batter head, meaning the side you strike. The bottom resonant head is a different head and sold separately.
04Do I need a tuning key?
Yes, and one isn't included. You'll need a standard drum key to remove the old head and tension the new one evenly.
