Detail 01
6 inch
Measure the shell diameter, not the rim. Six inch drums are add-on or effect toms, not standard rack sizes.

EvansHydraulic Blue Tom Batter Head 6"
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 6 inch blue batter head for a small tom. For drummers with an add-on 6 inch drum who want short, controlled sustain.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small 6 inch toms on extended or fusion kits
- Cutting ring on a high, pingy small drum
- Replacing a single worn head without buying a pack
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Standard kits — 6 inch toms are uncommon
- Players who want long, open sustain and overtones
- Anyone needing a resonant bottom 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
Hydraulic
Built to damp itself, so sustain is short and controlled without taping gel or moongel on top.
Detail 03
Batter head
Mounts on the top, playing side. Your bottom resonant head is unaffected.
Detail 04
Blue
The tint is visible on a mounted drum, so it changes the look of the kit as well as the sound.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your drum is a 6 inch shell — 8 inch is far more common
- 02Sold as a single head, not a pack
- 03A drum key is needed to seat and tune it evenly
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit an 8 inch tom?
No. Head sizes are not adjustable. An 8 inch drum needs an 8 inch head.
02Do I still need moongel with this?
Usually not. Hydraulic heads damp themselves, so extra muffling often makes the drum sound dead.
03Is this for the top or bottom?
The top. It is a batter head, the one you strike.
04How many heads come in the box?
One 6 inch head.
