Strong match

Who this is for

  • Rack toms that ring too long in a small room
  • Recording sessions where you want minimal overtones untaped
  • Hard hitters who go through thinner heads fast

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players who want long sustain and a singing tom
  • Brush work — the clear surface gives no texture
  • Drums that aren't 13 inches across the shell

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 01

Pinstripe

Two plies damped near the edge. Overtones drop off fast, so the tom speaks and stops without tape or gels.

Detail 02

Two-ply

Thicker than a single-ply, so it dents less and the pitch sits lower at the same tension.

Detail 03

Clear

Bright attack and no coating. Sticks slide instead of grabbing, so brushes won't work on it.

Detail 04

13 in.

Fits a 13-inch shell diameter, the common second rack tom size. Measure the shell, not the rim.

Detail 05

$26.95

One head. Doing three toms means buying three, and resonant heads on top of that.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Single head only — no tuning key or damping accessories
  2. 02Skip the moongel; this head is already damped
  3. 03Tune lower than a single-ply to get its intended fat note

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this fit a 13-inch snare?

Diameter-wise yes, but it's built as a tom batter. Snare heads are usually thinner and coated for sensitivity and brush response.

02How much ring does it actually kill?

Most of it. The edge damping removes the high overtones, leaving a short note with a defined pitch and quick decay.

03Can I use it as a resonant head?

You can, but it will heavily choke the drum. Bottom heads are normally much thinner to let the tom breathe.

04Does it work on a low-tuned tom?

Yes. The two-ply build holds pitch at low tension better than a single-ply, which goes floppy and loses definition.
