RemoClear Pinstripe Drum Head 18 in.
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 18-inch two-ply clear tom head with a built-in dampening ring. Buy it if your floor tom rings too long and you want a shorter, fatter note.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Floor tom that sings out too much in a room
- Loud playing where single-ply heads dent fast
- Drummers who want fat toms without taping them
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing open, long-sustain jazz tom sustain
- Anyone who wants maximum stick sensitivity and articulation
- Drummers needing a resonant bottom head
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
Two-ply film
Noticeably more dent resistance than a single-ply head. Trade-off is a slightly stiffer feel under the stick.
Detail 03
Clear film
Brighter attack than a coated head. Pairs with the damping to give punch without the ringing tail.
Detail 04
18 in. size
Floor tom territory. Big diameter means low pitch and a long decay that this head is designed to rein in.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Single head, no tuning key or muffling accessories included
- 02Measure your shell diameter, not the hoop, before ordering
- 03Tune lower than usual — two-ply heads sound choked when cranked tight
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I still need moon gel or tape?
Usually not. The dampening ring between the plies already controls overtones, which is the point of this design.
02Will this work on an 18-inch bass drum?
It fits an 18-inch shell, but it's built as a tom head. Bass drum batters are made heavier for beater impact.
03Clear or coated — which for a floor tom?
Clear gives more attack and low-end punch. Coated warms the tone and softens the attack. For a controlled, fat floor tom, clear is the common choice.
04Does it go on top or bottom?
Top, as the batter head. It's built for stick impact, not for the thin resonant side underneath.
