Detail 01
Single ply
One layer of film vibrates freely. More sustain, more overtones, less attack focus than a two-ply head.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single-ply 10mil clear batter head for a 14-inch tom or a bright snare batter. Open, resonant, plenty of overtones.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want maximum sustain and stick attack from a tom
- Jazz, funk and lighter playing where head sensitivity matters
- Replacing a dead stock head on a beginner or mid kit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Heavy hitters who dent or break thin heads fast
- Anyone wanting short, controlled, studio-dry tom sound
- 14-inch snare batter players wanting built-in dampening
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
10mil film
Thin enough to be sensitive at low volume, thin enough to dent under hard rimshots and heavy sticks.
Detail 03
Clear (not coated)
Brighter and more open than a coated head. No coating means it will not take brushes.
Detail 04
Batter head
This is the top head you strike. Not a substitute for the thinner resonant head underneath.
Detail 05
14 inch
Fits a 14-inch drum. Head size matches the drum's stated diameter, not the shell hoop.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only. No tuning key, dampening ring or drum included.
- 02Confirm your drum is 14 inch before ordering — sizes are not interchangeable.
- 03New heads stretch. Seat and retune after the first playing session.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for a tom or a snare?
Either. At 14 inches it works as a tom batter or as a bright, open snare batter. On snare expect lively response and long ring.
02G1 or G2 — what's the difference?
G1 is single ply: brighter, longer sustain, more sensitive. G2 is two ply: warmer, shorter decay, more durable under hard hitting.
03Can I use brushes on it?
No. Clear film has no texture, so brushes slide silently. Use a coated head for brush work.
04Does it come with a muffling ring?
No. This is an open, undamped head. Add moongel or tape if you want less ring.
