Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
6-inch coated single-ply batter head for a small tom. Replacement head for compact toms and small drums in that size.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing the batter head on a 6" tom
- Drummers who use brushes and need coated texture
- Small kits, junior kits, or add-on effect toms
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone with standard 10" or 12" toms — wrong size
- Heavy hitters who want a thicker, longer-lasting head
- Players wanting bright, glassy attack from a clear head
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 (G1)
One layer of film. More open, more sustain, more sensitive to light playing — but less durable than a two-ply head.
Detail 03
6 in.
Fits a 6-inch shell. That's a small effect or auxiliary tom, not a standard rack tom size.
Detail 04
Batter head
This is the top head, the one you strike. It sets attack and stick feel; the bottom head shapes resonance.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your shell diameter first — 6" toms are uncommon and easy to mismeasure
- 02Head only. Tension rods, hoop, and drum key are not included
- 03Single-ply heads dent under hard playing; keep a spare if you hit hard
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What drum is a 6-inch head for?
A 6-inch shell — typically a small effect tom, an auxiliary tom, or a piccolo-size drum. Standard rack toms start around 8 or 10 inches.
02Coated or clear — which should I get?
Coated is warmer with a bit more control and works with brushes. Clear is brighter with more attack. This one is coated.
03Can I use this on the bottom of the drum?
It's designed as a batter head for the top. Resonant heads are typically thinner, so a batter on the bottom will sound more damped.
04Will it survive hard playing?
It's single-ply, so it's the more open and sensitive choice but the less durable one. Two-ply heads hold up better to heavy sticking.
