Detail 01
Firm feel
Head resists the stick rather than giving under it. Rebound is fast, but soft playing takes more control.

EVANSMX White Tenor Head 13 in.
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
13-inch marching tenor batter head with a firm, focused feel. For a drumline tenor player replacing a worn or dented head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Marching tenor lines needing consistent attack outdoors
- Replacing a dented head mid-season on a quad set
- Players who want tight, short note definition
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum set toms — this head is built for marching tension
- Anyone wanting long, open sustain from a tom
- Players needing a size other than 13 inches
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
Focused sustain
Note dies off quickly instead of ringing. Fast tenor passages stay readable instead of blurring together.
Detail 03
Defined attack
The stick strike cuts through clearly, which is what lets a tenor line be heard over a full band.
Detail 04
Smooth white finish
Slick surface, so brushes and stick drags won't catch. Matches the white-head look most drumlines run.
Detail 05
Extreme durability rating
Built to take marching-tension stick impact over a season rather than occasional practice.
Detail 06
13 in. size
One drum's worth. Tenor sets use several sizes, so a full re-head means buying each size separately.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only — a full quad or quint set needs several sizes
- 02Measure the drum shell, not the old head, to confirm 13 inches
- 03Tuning key and time to seat the head are not included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a batter head or a bottom head?
It is a batter head — the top head you strike. Marching tenors are single-headed on many setups, so this is the playing surface.
02Will this fit my tom on a drum set?
It will physically fit a 13-inch tom, but it is designed for marching tension and a firm, short-sustain response. A tom-specific head suits a kit better.
03How many do I need for a tenor set?
One per drum. A quad has four drums in different sizes, so you would order each size individually. This listing covers the 13-inch only.
04Why white instead of clear?
White is the standard drumline look and gives a slightly warmer voice than clear film. It also shows stick marks, which fade the head's appearance over a season.
