1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Two-ply clear 14-inch tom batter head. General-purpose choice for drummers who want durability and controlled sustain without heavy damping.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock and pop kits needing toms that sustain but do not ring forever
- Hard hitters who dent single-ply heads too quickly
- 14 in. floor toms on a standard five-piece kit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz players wanting maximum openness and light-touch sensitivity
- Anyone needing the very dry, dead sound of oil-filled heads
- Snare or bass drum use — this is a tom batter
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
Clear, not coated
Brighter attack and more projection. Coated heads sound warmer and are usually chosen for brushes.
Detail 03
No built-in damping
Keeps more tone and sustain than hydraulic heads. Add a gel if you want it drier.
Detail 04
14 in. diameter
Common floor tom or small rack tom size. Measure the shell, not the hoop, before buying.
Detail 05
Batter position
Top head only. Sustain and pitch bend also depend on the resonant head underneath.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head per pack — a full kit needs several sizes
- 02Resonant bottom heads are separate and change how much the tom sings
- 03New heads stretch; expect to retune after the first session
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this better than a single-ply head?
Different, not better. Two-ply lasts longer and rings less; single-ply is more open and sensitive to light playing.
02Clear or coated for toms?
Clear gives brighter attack and more projection. Coated is warmer and needed if you play with brushes.
03Will this fit a 14-inch snare?
Diameter matches, but this is a tom batter. Snare batter heads are built for wire response and rimshots.
04Do I need to muffle it?
Two-ply already shortens sustain. If your tom still rings too long, a single small gel near the edge is enough.
