Detail 01
Mesh head
Woven fabric instead of film. It cuts volume dramatically while keeping stick rebound close to a real head.

PearlMFH Mesh Tom Head for Rhythm Traveler Drum 12 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
12-inch mesh tom head for the Pearl Rhythm Traveler. Buy it to replace a worn low-volume head or to quiet a 12-inch tom for practice.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Apartment practice where a normal head is too loud
- Replacing a torn mesh head on a Rhythm Traveler
- Quiet warm-up backstage or in a shared space
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting acoustic tone or recorded drum sound
- Drummers needing a standard tunable batter head for live use
- Toms sized other than 12 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
12 in. size
Fits a 12-inch tom shell. Measure the shell diameter, not the head you removed, if unsure.
Detail 03
Made for Rhythm Traveler
Designed around Pearl's low-volume kit, but the 12-inch diameter is standard across brands.
Detail 04
Tom head, not snare or kick
Sized and built for a rack or floor tom. It has no snare-side or bass-specific construction.
Detail 05
$24.99
Roughly single-head pricing, so re-heading a full kit in mesh adds up per drum.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only — a full kit needs one per drum
- 02Mesh sounds thin and dry acoustically; it is a volume tool, not a tone upgrade
- 03No trigger or electronics included; this does not make a tom electronic
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How quiet is a mesh head really?
Much quieter than a standard head — closer to a soft thud than a tom hit. You still hear stick attack and any hardware rattle.
02Will this fit a 12-inch tom from another brand?
Tom diameters are standard, so a 12-inch head fits a 12-inch shell. Confirm your shell measures 12 inches across.
03Can I tune a mesh head?
Yes. Tension the rods for rebound feel rather than pitch — tighter gives faster stick response.
04Does this work as a practice pad substitute?
On the drum, yes. It gives real drum positioning and rebound at low volume, which a single pad cannot.
