Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
6-inch replacement head for the small accent drum in a marching tenor set. Blue System Blue finish.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing the shot or accent drum head on a tenor rig
- Marching bands running quints with a 6-inch drum

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Quads without a small accent drum
- Any drum kit application — this is a marching tenor head
- Anyone needing a clear or coated finish
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
Built for outdoor projection and hard stick attack rather than the softer feel of an indoor head.
Detail 03
Small diameter
Highest pitch in the tenor set. Short decay and a sharp attack, used for accents rather than melodic runs.
Detail 04
Blue finish
Colored rather than clear or coated, so it stays visually consistent with a blue-headed tenor set.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Single head only — the rest of the tenor set is sold separately
- 02No drum key or tuning wrench included
- 03Small heads reach high tension quickly; go slow to avoid over-tightening
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does my tenor set have a 6-inch drum?
Quints typically include one small accent drum; quads usually do not. Check your carrier configuration before ordering this size.
02How tight should a 6-inch tenor head be?
Tenor heads run high in tension. Tighten evenly across all lugs and stop when pitch stops rising cleanly rather than forcing it further.
03Can I use this on a 6-inch kit tom?
It is built for marching tenor drums. Fit and feel are set up for field playing, not a drum kit.
04Is the blue color the same across all sizes?
Yes, these blue heads are meant to match across the sizes in a tenor set.
