Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Two-ply clear 16-inch tom head with built-in muffling. Suited to floor toms that need a controlled, low fundamental instead of long ring.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • 16 inch floor toms in rock, pop, and live settings
  • Drummers tired of taping down ringy toms
  • Miked kits where overtones muddy the mix

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Jazz and orchestral players wanting open, resonant toms
  • Anyone after maximum sustain and rich overtones
  • Toms of any size other than 16 inch

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

Two-ply construction

Lower pitch, shorter decay, and better dent resistance under hard sticking than a single-ply head.

Detail 02

Clear film

More attack and brighter cut than coated. Not intended for brush work, which needs a coated surface.

Detail 03

Pinstripe muffling ring

Damping built between the plies removes high overtones, so no tape, gel, or rings needed.

Detail 04

16 inch

Fits a 16 inch shell diameter. Common floor tom size; verify before ordering.

Detail 05

Tom head

Made as a batter head. A single head does not cover both batter and resonant sides.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01One head per package — a floor tom needs two if you replace both sides
  2. 02Measure the shell diameter, ignore the hoop and old head markings
  3. 03A drum key is required and not included

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Batter or resonant side?

It works best as a batter head. As a resonant head it heavily shortens sustain, which some players want and others find too dead.

02Will this fix a ringy tom?

Largely, yes. The built-in muffling ring cuts the high overtones that cause ring, without needing tape or gel pads.

03Can I use brushes on it?

Not effectively. The clear surface is smooth, so brushes will not produce the sweeping sound a coated head gives.

04Does a 16 inch head fit a 16x16 floor tom?

Yes. Head sizing follows shell diameter only. Depth affects pitch and body, not fit.
