Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 12-inch frosted Evans EC2S head for a standard rack tom. The straightforward replacement when your current tom head is dented or dead.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing the batter head on a 12-inch rack tom
- Drummers who want a focused tom note over long ring
- Studio and stage kits where toms need to sit tight
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz players wanting open, singing toms with long sustain
- Anyone with 10 or 13-inch toms. Size is exact.
- Bass drum or snare use. Wrong head for both.
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
Frosted surface
Takes a little edge off the attack compared to clear, giving a rounder tone.
Detail 03
EC2S series
Controlled sustain. The note dies sooner and cleaner, which mics well and cuts through a band.
Detail 04
Tom head
Tuned range and collar suit a rack tom. Not a substitute for a snare or bass head.
Detail 05
$24.99
Standard price for a mid tom head. A full tom set means buying one per drum.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Batter head only. Buy a separate resonant head for the bottom.
- 02One head per tom. A three-tom kit needs three sizes.
- 03Wipe the bearing edge clean before seating the new head.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I know my tom is 12 inches?
Measure across the top of the shell, not the head or hoop. Shell diameter is the number that matters when ordering.
02Will this cut down the ring on my toms?
Yes. The EC2S design shortens sustain, so you get a defined note instead of a long ring. Many drummers skip moongel or tape after fitting these.
03Frosted or clear for this tom?
Frosted gives a warmer, slightly softer attack. Clear is brighter and more aggressive. Pick frosted if your toms already sound thin or harsh.
04Do I need to replace the bottom head too?
Not necessarily. Resonant heads last much longer than batters. Replace it if it is dented, or if you want the whole drum to sound new.
