Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 16-inch coated batter head for a floor tom. A replacement for a worn head when you want a coated playing surface rather than clear.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Reheading a 16-inch floor tom on a standard kit
- Players who want a coated surface for brush work
- Keeping a spare 16 head in the case for gigs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Snare or kick drums, which need their own head types
- Any tom that is not 16 inches across the shell
- Players who want the brighter attack of 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
Batter head
Goes on the top, the side you hit. The bottom resonant head is a separate purchase.
Detail 03
16 in.
Matches the shell diameter, not the old head. Common floor tom size on a five-piece kit.
Detail 04
Tom head
Tensioned and built for tom range. Not interchangeable with a snare batter or bass drum head.
Detail 05
$26.99
Reheading the batter side of a three-tom kit lands near $75 depending on the other sizes.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell, not the hoop or the old head, before ordering
- 02One head only; the resonant side is sold separately
- 03Coated heads wear at the stick contact point faster than clear
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit a 16-inch floor tom?
Yes. A 16-inch head matches a 16-inch shell, which on most kits is the floor tom.
02Coated or clear for toms?
Coated gives a slightly warmer, less bright attack and works with brushes. Clear is more open and cutting.
03Can I use this as a snare head?
No. This is a tom batter head. Snare batters are built differently and are sized for the snare shell.
04Do I need a new bottom head too?
Not necessarily. Resonant heads last much longer since they are not struck. Replace them when they dent or lose tension.
