Detail 01
Coated finish
The coating adds mass and friction, warming the tone and shortening ring compared to a clear head of the same thickness.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
10-inch coated single-ply tom batter head. Warm, controlled attack with a bit of texture. A standard replacement for a rack tom.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a dented or dead 10-inch rack tom head
- Players wanting warmer, less ringy toms than clear heads give
- Studio kits where excess overtone is a problem
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Hard hitters who need two-ply durability
- Anyone chasing maximum attack and sustain — clear heads do that better
- Snare or bass drum positions
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
Single ply
More sensitive and open than two-ply. Responds to light playing but dents sooner under heavy sticks.
Detail 03
10 in. size
Fits a 10-inch tom only. Head size refers to shell diameter, not the rim or hoop.
Detail 04
Batter head
Goes on the top, struck side. The bottom resonant head is separate and thinner.
Detail 05
G1 series
Evans' baseline single-ply line. Straightforward open tone rather than built-in muffling.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Single head, top side only — the resonant head is sold separately
- 02You will need a drum key; tune in a star pattern and stretch it in
- 03Coating wears off over time with stick contact, especially with brushes
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my 10-inch tom?
Yes, if the shell measures 10 inches across. Head sizing follows shell diameter, so measure the shell, not the outer hoop.
02Coated or clear for toms?
Coated is warmer with less ring and works well close-miked. Clear is brighter with longer sustain and more attack.
03Can I use this as a snare head?
It is built as a tom batter. A dedicated snare batter is built for the tension and rimshot wear snare playing puts on it.
04How often should I replace it?
When the head dents deeply, loses pitch, or will not tune evenly. Gigging players change toms far more often than home players.
