RemoClear Extended Timpani Head 31 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 31-inch clear timpani head with an extended collar. Replacement part for a 31-inch timpani, not a drum kit head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn head on a 31-inch timpani
- Orchestral and concert percussion setups
- Schools and ensembles maintaining a timpani section
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum kit players — this fits nothing on a standard kit
- Anyone whose timpani bowl is a different diameter
- Players wanting a warm, muted sound; clear is bright and open
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
Extended collar
Deeper flesh hoop skirt so the head seats properly on the bowl and survives the wide pitch range timpani pedal through.
Detail 03
31 in.
Matches a 31-inch timpani bowl. Timpani sizing is strict — a near-miss will not seat or tune.
Detail 04
Synthetic film
Holds pitch through humidity and temperature swings far better than calfskin, and needs no seasonal babysitting.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your bowl diameter before ordering — timpani sizes are close together.
- 02One head only, no counterhoop or hardware included.
- 03Timpani head changes need careful even seating; budget real time for it.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a 32-inch timpani?
No. Timpani heads must match the bowl diameter exactly. A 31-inch head will not seat correctly on a 32-inch bowl.
02What does extended collar mean?
The collar is the sloped edge between the flesh hoop and the playing surface. Extended gives it more depth, so the head seats on the bowl and handles the full pedal tuning range.
03Clear or coated for timpani?
Clear is the standard for most concert timpani — brighter, with better pitch clarity and sustain. Coated is a darker, more damped option some players prefer.
04Can I install this myself?
Yes, with patience. Remove the counterhoop, seat the new head evenly on the bowl, then bring the tension rods up gradually in a star pattern and check pitch across the head.
