EvansMX Black Tenor Drumhead 6" Shot 3-Pack
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Three black Evans MX heads sized for the 6-inch shot drums on a marching tenor set. Replacement or spare stock for a drumline.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rehatting the small accent drums on marching tenor configurations
- Keeping spare shot heads on the equipment truck during a season
- Directors stocking replacements for a full tenor section
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone whose tenors have no 6-inch shot drum
- Players needing heads for the main tenor drums — wrong size
- Drum kit use; these are marching heads at a non-kit size
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
Shot drum head
Shot drums are struck for short accent notes, so these get concentrated hits in a small area and wear fast.
Detail 03
MX marching series
Made for marching tension. Stiff and high-pitched at this diameter, which is what makes the accent cut through.
Detail 04
Black finish
A visual choice against the shells. Hides stick marks better than a white head over a long season.
Detail 05
Three heads for $49.99
About $17 each. Buying three at once means a spare on hand rather than a rush order mid-season.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your shot drum is 6 inches — 8-inch shots need a different head
- 02Drums, hoops and tension rods are not included
- 03Small heads tension quickly; go in small turns to avoid over-tightening
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is a shot drum?
The small accent drum mounted on a marching tenor configuration, played for short high-pitched hits rather than melodic passages.
02Will this fit an 8-inch shot drum?
No. These are 6-inch heads and will not fit a larger shell. Match the diameter exactly.
03Why three instead of a matched set?
Most tenor configurations carry one or two shot drums, so three covers replacement plus a spare for the season.
04Is the black finish different in sound from white?
Treat the color as a visual choice for the line. Pick based on how it looks against your shells.
