Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 18-inch resonant (bottom) head for a floor tom, in black. Buy it when the underside head on an 18" floor tom is dented or dead.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn bottom head on an 18-inch floor tom
- Matching an all-black head setup on a kit
- Restoring low-end sustain after only the batter was replaced
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a batter head — this goes on the bottom
- Toms of any size other than 18 inches
- Players who want a bright, open natural-finish look
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
18 in.
Measures the drum's shell diameter, not the rim. An 18" floor tom takes this size only.
Detail 03
Black finish
Cosmetic on a resonant head, but it hides the drum interior and darkens the kit's look.
Detail 04
Tom-specific
Built for tom tuning ranges. Not a snare-side head — snare bottoms are far thinner.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only. A full floor tom rebuild also needs a batter head.
- 02You need a drum key to detension the old head and seat this one.
- 03Measure the shell diameter, not the hoop, before ordering.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this go on the top or bottom?
Bottom. It's a resonant head, so it faces the floor on a floor tom and is never struck.
02Will it fit my 18-inch bass drum?
No. This is a tom head sized for an 18" floor tom shell, not a bass drum.
03Do I get one head or a pack?
One 18-inch resonant head.
04How does a black head sound versus clear?
Tune and tension drive the sound far more than the finish. Treat black here as a look choice.
