EvansES ET DrumHead 31.5 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 31.5-inch Evans drum head for large concert-scale drums. A replacement part for a specific instrument, not a general kit head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn head on a large concert or ensemble drum
- Schools and ensembles keeping a spare on hand for a big drum
- Players who already know their shell measures 31.5 inches
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Standard drum kits — no kit drum is this size
- Anyone unsure of their shell diameter; the size is unusual
- Players looking for a common, easily swapped replacement
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
Metric-derived size
31.5 inches is 80 cm. Your drum may be specified in centimeters rather than inches.
Detail 03
Sold as one head
Drums with two playing surfaces need two heads if you want both replaced.
Detail 04
Price relative to kit heads
Large-diameter heads cost more because of the material area involved. Budget accordingly for a full replacement.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell diameter, not the hoop, before ordering — this size is unforgiving.
- 02Head only. No hoop, hardware or tuning key included.
- 03Large heads need patient, even tensioning; allow real time to seat and tune.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my bass drum?
Only if your drum shell measures 31.5 inches across. That is well outside drum set bass drum sizes, which top out far smaller.
02Is 31.5 inches the same as 80 cm?
Yes. If your drum is specified in centimeters, 80 cm is the equivalent measurement.
03How do I measure for the right size?
Remove the old head and measure straight across the top of the shell, edge to edge, through the center. Do not include the hoop.
04Do I need a tuning key?
Yes, and it is not included. Use the key that matches your drum's tension rods, and tighten in a star pattern for even tension.
