EvansG2 Clear Batter Drum Head 18 in.
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single 18-inch clear batter head for a large floor tom. Buy it as a one-drum replacement, not as a full kit refresh.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a dented or dead 18-inch floor tom top head
- Drummers who want attack and stick definition, not brush work
- Filling a gap when a tom pack skips 18 inches
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing brush response — clear heads have no coating to grab
- Drummers replacing a whole kit; per-head cost adds up fast
- Snare or bass drum use; this is sized and positioned for toms
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
Batter head
This is the top, struck side. The bottom resonant head is a separate purchase and different part.
Detail 03
Clear film
More attack and stick articulation than a coated head, and brushes will slide instead of sweeping.
Detail 04
Sold as one head
Covers a single drum only. An 18-inch floor tom still needs its own resonant head.
Detail 05
Tom-specific
Built for tom tension ranges; not intended as a snare batter or bass drum head.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No tuning key, dampening, or resonant head included
- 02Confirm your floor tom is 18 inches, not 16
- 03Expect to seat and re-tune it a few times as it settles
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit an 18-inch bass drum?
It is made as a tom batter head. An 18-inch bass drum takes a bass-specific head built for that tension and impact, so use this on toms.
02Clear or coated for toms?
Clear gives you more stick attack and definition. Choose coated only if you play with brushes or want a warmer, softer surface.
03Do I need to replace the bottom head too?
Not necessarily. Resonant heads last much longer since they are never struck. Replace the bottom only if it is dented or torn.
04Does one head cover a whole tom?
It covers the top side of one drum. A floor tom uses two heads total, batter on top and resonant underneath.
