Detail 01
2-ply
Two layers of film mean less ring, shorter sustain, more focused attack, and far better dent resistance than a single ply.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 10-inch two-ply batter head for a rack tom, priced low enough to head an entire kit at once.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Loud playing where a thin head dents or splits quickly
- Rebuilding a used kit on a tight budget
- Drummers who want short, controlled tom decay
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing long, open, singing tom sustain
- Jazz and light-touch settings needing sensitivity at low volume
- Anyone needing a 10-inch bottom head — this is a batter
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
10 in.
Measures the drum's shell diameter, not the hoop. A 10-inch tom takes a 10-inch head, full stop.
Detail 03
Batter head
This is the top head you strike. The bottom resonant head is a separate purchase.
Detail 04
Tom head
Sized and built for rack toms. Not a snare batter — there's no snare-side thin film here.
Detail 05
Price under $25
Cheap enough to change heads on a schedule instead of playing them until they die.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell diameter, not the hoop or the old head's outer ring
- 02One head per pack — a four-tom kit needs four
- 03You'll need a drum key; budget 20 minutes to seat and tune it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a top or bottom head?
Top. It's a batter head, made to be struck. Bottom resonant heads are thinner and sold separately.
02Will it fit my 10-inch tom?
Yes, if the shell measures 10 inches across. Head sizes match shell diameter, not the hoop's outer edge.
03Two-ply versus one-ply — what changes?
Two plies cut overtones and shorten sustain, giving a punchier, drier tom. They also survive hard hitting much longer.
04Can I use this on a snare?
It's built as a tom head. It will physically fit a 10-inch snare but is thicker than a typical snare batter.
