Detail 01
Clear film
No coating, so overtones stay open and the pitch speaks clearly. Brighter and more sustaining than a coated head.

Independent shopping perspective
A 25-inch clear timpani head with an extended collar. A replacement head for a 25-inch timpano, sized to the kettle rather than a drum shell.

What matters in use
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 01
No coating, so overtones stay open and the pitch speaks clearly. Brighter and more sustaining than a coated head.
Detail 02
Extra depth at the edge lets the head seat properly over a timpani bowl and reach the full tuning range.
Detail 03
Refers to the timpano kettle diameter, not a drum shell. A 25-inch bowl needs the 25-inch head, nothing close to it.
Detail 04
Built for pedal-tuned pitch across a range. Standard tom or bass heads will not seat or tune on a timpano.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
No. Timpani heads are matched to a specific kettle diameter. A 25-inch head will not seat correctly on a 26-inch bowl.
The collar — the shaped edge of the head — is deeper, so it seats over the timpani bowl and tunes across the drum's full pedal range.
Clear is brighter with clearer pitch and longer sustain. Coated is warmer and drier. This one is clear.
You need the tuning key or spider wrench for your timpani, and you will need to reset the pedal balance after seating the head.
