RemoControlled Sound Black Dot Batter Head - 6 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
6-inch batter head with a center black dot. Built for small toms and compact kits where a durable, focused attack matters.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small rack toms and compact or travel kits
- Drummers who hit hard and wear out center of heads
- Getting a short, poppy note out of a tiny shell
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Standard 10, 12, or 13-inch toms — this is 6 inch only
- Players wanting maximum ring and open sustain
- Snare use where a coated head is needed for brushes
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
Controlled Sound design
Shorter decay than a plain single-ply. The drum speaks and stops rather than ringing on.
Detail 03
6 inch
Fits a 6-inch diameter shell. Small toms of this size are pitched high and naturally short-sustaining.
Detail 04
Batter head
This goes on the top, playing side. The bottom resonant head is separate and usually a thinner film.
Detail 05
Smooth clear film outside the dot
Brighter and more cutting than a coated head. Not suited to brush work.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only. No tuning key or resonant head included.
- 026-inch heads are uncommon — verify your shell measures 6 inches across the bearing edge.
- 03Small heads have little tuning range; a slight key turn changes pitch a lot.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What drum takes a 6-inch head?
Small rack toms on compact kits, some junior kits, and add-on effect toms. Measure the shell diameter directly rather than assuming from the kit size.
02Does the black dot go up or down?
Up. The dot faces the sticks so it takes the impact and adds durability where you actually strike.
03Will this make my tom sound dead?
Not dead, but controlled. The dot trims the highest overtones and shortens decay. You get a defined note rather than a long ring.
04Can I use it as a snare head?
On a 6-inch shell, yes if the diameter matches. The film is clear, so brushes will not respond the way they do on a coated head.
