EvansGenera Resonant Clear Drum Head 16 in.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 16 in. clear resonant head for the bottom of a floor tom. For drummers replacing a dented or dead-sounding bottom head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Refreshing sustain on a 16 in. floor tom
- Drummers who want the bottom head brighter than a coated one
- Replacing a resonant head that has creased or dented
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a batter head — this is not built for sticks
- Drums that measure other than 16 in.
- Players chasing a short, dry, muffled tom sound
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 film
No coating on the surface, so it rings longer and brighter than a coated head of the same size.
Detail 03
16 in.
Matches a 16 in. drum, typically a floor tom. Head size is the drum diameter, not the hoop.
Detail 04
Single head, sold alone
Covers one side of one drum. A full tom change means buying the batter head separately.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only — no batter head, no bass or snare heads included
- 02Measure the drum shell diameter; 16 in. heads do not fit 15 or 18 in. drums
- 03Bottom heads sit under the drum, so you will need a drum key and floor space to flip it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as a batter head?
No. It is a resonant head for the bottom of the drum. Struck with sticks it will dent and split quickly.
02Will this fit my 16 in. floor tom?
Yes, if the shell measures 16 in. across. Head sizes follow drum diameter, so measure the shell, not the hoop.
03Clear or coated on the bottom?
Clear gives more sustain and a brighter decay. Coated bottoms sound slightly shorter and warmer.
04Do I need to retune after fitting it?
Yes. Seat the head, tension the lugs evenly in a star pattern, then tune the bottom against the batter head.
