Detail 01
Black dot in the center
A reinforcing patch over the strike zone. Cuts overtones, tightens attack, and takes stick wear where you hit most.
Product detailSKU #1274034490559
RemoControlled Sound Black Dot Batter Head - 10 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single-ply 10-inch batter head with a reinforced center dot. For drummers who want focused attack and less ring from a rack tom.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 10-inch rack tom that rings too long untuned
- Hard hitters who wear through the strike zone
- Drummers wanting punch without taping the head
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing long, open, jazz-style tom sustain
- Resonant (bottom) side use — this is a batter head
- Anyone needing a 10-inch snare-specific top 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
Batter head
Goes on the top, playing side. The bottom resonant head is a different, thinner head you buy separately.
Detail 03
10 in.
Head size matches the drum shell diameter, not the hoop. A 10-inch tom takes this exactly.
Detail 04
Single ply
More sensitive and brighter than a two-ply head, but with shorter life under heavy sticking.
Detail 05
Black finish
Opaque film. You won't see the shell interior through it, so it reads dark on a kit.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only. No drum key, tuning tool, or dampening rings included.
- 02Measure your shell diameter — hoop size will read larger and mislead you.
- 03Plan on a full tuning session; a new head stretches and drops pitch.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does the black dot go on top or underneath?
It faces up, under your sticks. Mount the head dot-side out so the reinforced area takes the strike.
02Can I use this as a bottom head?
No. It's a batter head — thicker and built for stick contact. Resonant heads are thinner and go underneath.
03Will it fit a 10-inch snare?
It fits any 10-inch shell. It's cut as a tom batter, so expect a focused, damped response rather than crisp snare sensitivity.
04How much does it quiet the drum?
The dot trims overtones and ring rather than muting the drum. You still get volume, just with a tighter, shorter note.
