Strong match

Who this is for

  • Refreshing all toms at once on a standard 12/13/16 kit
  • Players who want brighter attack and more stick definition
  • Getting matched heads across the kit for even tuning

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Fusion kits running 10/12/14 toms
  • Anyone needing snare or bass drum heads — not in this pack
  • Players after a warm, vintage, coated-head sound

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

12/13/16 pack

Two rack toms and one floor tom. The classic five-piece layout alongside a 22-inch kick.

Detail 02

Clear film

Brighter and more open than coated, with sharper stick attack and more sustain to tune out.

Detail 03

Two-ply construction

More body and less overtone ring than a single ply, and it takes harder hitting before denting.

Detail 04

Batter heads

These go on the top playing side. Bottom resonant heads stay as they are unless bought separately.

Detail 05

Around $64 for three

Roughly $21 a head, cheaper than buying the same three sizes individually.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Check your tom sizes first — 10/12/14 fusion kits will not fit this pack
  2. 02Resonant bottom heads are not included
  3. 03Set aside an hour; three heads means three full retunings

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Does this pack include a snare head?

No. It covers three toms only — 12, 13 and 16 inch. Snare and bass drum heads are bought separately.

02Will these fit my 10/12/14 kit?

No. This pack is cut for 12, 13 and 16-inch toms. A fusion-sized kit needs the matching fusion pack.

03Clear versus coated toms?

Clear gives more attack, brightness and sustain. Coated warms the tone and shortens the ring. Clear suits rock and louder styles better.

04Do I need to change the bottom heads too?

Not necessarily. Old resonant heads still hold pitch reasonably. Replacing them tightens the tuning and evens out sustain, but the toms will sound new with batters alone.
