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
Marching tenor head
Tuned high and struck hard outdoors. Built for projection and stick definition, not warm indoor decay.
Detail 03
Largest tenor size
The lowest-pitched drum in most tenor configurations, so it carries the bottom of your tenor voicing.
Detail 04
Blue finish
Visible color on the field. Will look different from natural-finish heads if you mix them across the set.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sold as a single head, not a full tenor set

- 03Larger heads need more seating time and a second tuning pass
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work on a 14-inch snare?
No. This is a marching tenor head, built for tenor drums. Snare batter heads are a different construction.
02How many heads do I need for a quint?
One per drum, in each drum's size. A quint uses five different diameters, so buy each size separately.
03Do I need to tune it after installing?
Yes. Seat the head, tension it evenly in a star pattern, then re-check after playing. New heads stretch and drop pitch initially.
04Is this the top or bottom head?
It is a batter head — the surface you strike.
