Detail 01
Pinstripe
Two plies with a ring of oil between them. Kills overtones and shortens decay, so toms sound fat and thumpy.

Independent shopping perspective
Two-ply clear Pinstripe batter heads for a Fusion-sized tom kit, plus a coated snare head. For drummers who want controlled, short-decay toms.

Strong match

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
Two plies with a ring of oil between them. Kills overtones and shortens decay, so toms sound fat and thumpy.
Detail 02
Brighter attack and more stick definition than coated. The mic hears the note start clearly.
Detail 03
Sized for 10, 12 and 14 in. toms — the common one-up, two-down setup. Measure your shells before ordering.
Detail 04
Thicker than a stock single-ply head. Lasts longer under heavy sticking but responds less to light playing.
Detail 05
Single-ply and coated. Sensitive, warm, and the only head here that works properly with brushes.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Usually not. The oil layer between plies already damps overtones, so gels or rings on top often make toms sound dead.
Fusion sizing: 10, 12 and 14 in. tom batters, plus a 14 in. coated Ambassador snare head.
Yes, on a 14 in. tom. It will be brighter and more open than the Pinstripes around it.
Not really. Pinstripes cut sustain deliberately. For open, resonant jazz toms, a single-ply head is the better choice.
