Detail 01
Black dot center
A reinforced patch at the strike zone. It focuses the note, trims overtones, and takes stick wear first.

RemoControlled Sound Black Dot Batter Head - 15 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 15-inch batter head with a center reinforcement dot, for drummers who want more attack and durability from a large tom.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Large rack or floor toms that ring too long
- Hard hitters who wear through plain single-ply heads
- Live rock and pop where toms need clear attack
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing open, sustaining jazz tom tone
- Anyone needing a resonant bottom head — this is a batter
- Smaller kits without a 15-inch drum
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 separate purchase and a different build.
Detail 03
15 in.
An uncommon tom size. Confirm your drum is a true 15-inch shell before ordering — 14 and 16 are far more common.
Detail 04
Controlled Sound series
Built to shorten decay without stick-on dampeners, so you get a shorter, drier note straight out of the box.
Detail 05
Black finish
Cosmetic under stage lighting; the dot placement, not the color, is what changes the sound.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head measurements are the drum's stated size, not the measured shell
- 02Single head only — no bottom head, tuning key, or hoop
- 03Expect a drier, shorter tom note than a plain single-ply
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which side does this go on?
The top, playing side. It is a batter head, built to take stick impact — not a resonant bottom head.
02Does the black dot make it sound dead?
It shortens sustain and cuts high overtones at the center. The drum still speaks; the note is just tighter and more focused.
03Will it fit a 15-inch floor tom?
Yes, if the drum is sold as a 15-inch tom. Drum head sizes follow the drum's designation, not a tape measure across the shell.
04Is it durable for hard playing?
The center dot adds material exactly where sticks land, so the strike zone lasts longer than an undotted single-ply head.
