Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A 12-inch clear resonant head for the underside of a drum. For replacing a worn or dented bottom head rather than changing your sound dramatically.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a torn or dented 12" bottom head
  • Restoring sustain lost to an old resonant head
  • Reheading a full drum, top and bottom, at once

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players needing a batter head for the playing side
  • Drums that are 10, 13 or 14 inches
  • Anyone wanting a shorter, drier, more controlled tone

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 01

Resonant head

Mounts on the bottom of the drum. It shapes sustain and pitch but is not struck.

Detail 02

Clear film

Lets the drum ring more openly than a muffled or coated resonant head would.

Detail 03

12 inch

Fits a 12" drum diameter. Sizing is the shell measurement, not the depth.

Detail 04

Sold as a single head

One head, one drum side. A full kit rehead needs several.

Detail 05

$20.99

Roughly the cost of one head, so replacing an entire kit's bottoms adds up quickly.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Batter head not included; the playing side is a separate purchase
  2. 02Measure the drum diameter before ordering, not the depth
  3. 03Tune the bottom head after fitting; it sets the drum's pitch

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does this go on the top or bottom?

The bottom. It is a resonant head, so it faces down and is not played directly.

02Will it fit a 13" drum?

No. It is cut for a 12" drum. Head size must match the shell diameter exactly.

03How should I tune a resonant head?

Tuning it higher than the batter shortens sustain and raises pitch; matching or lowering it opens the drum up.

04Is one head enough for my drum?

Only if the batter side is still good. A full rehead needs a batter head as well.
