Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Coated 14-inch batter head for toms. For drummers replacing a dented or dead top head who want a warmer sound with brush compatibility.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing the top head on a 14-inch tom
- Drummers who play brushes and need a textured surface
- Anyone wanting less ring than a clear head gives
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Toms of any other diameter; head size is not adjustable
- Players chasing maximum attack and long sustain
- Bottom resonant positions, which use thinner heads
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
Goes on top, the side you strike. The bottom resonant head is a separate, thinner part.
Detail 03
14 inch
Fits a 14-inch shell. Common as a floor tom size and as a snare batter size.
Detail 04
Tom head
Built for tom tuning ranges rather than the high tension a snare batter sees.
Detail 05
Single head per package
Changing a full kit means one head per drum, sized to each shell.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell across the top; do not measure the old head's outer edge
- 02No tuning key, dampening rings or bottom head included
- 03Seat and stretch the head, then retune after an hour of playing
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Coated or clear for toms?
Coated is warmer with fewer high overtones and works with brushes. Clear is brighter with more attack and sustain.
02Can I put this on a 14-inch snare?
It is sized to fit, but it is built as a tom batter. A dedicated snare batter head suits the higher tension better.
03Does this go on the top or bottom of the tom?
Top. It is a batter head, the one you hit. Bottom resonant heads are thinner and sold separately.
04Do I need a special tool to change it?
A drum key to loosen and retension the lugs. That is the only tool required, and it is not included.
