Detail 01
Pinstripe
Two plies with a damping agent between them. Kills overtones at the source, so the note drops fast and fat.

RemoEbony Pinstripe Tom Head 13 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
13-inch black two-ply tom head. Short sustain and a fat, controlled note for drummers who want ring gone without gaffer tape.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock and heavier playing where toms need to punch, not ring
- Miked kits that get boomy or ringy in the studio
- Drummers who hit hard and dent thin heads
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz players wanting open sustain and full overtones
- Anyone needing brush response, since the surface is smooth
- Toms that are not 13 inches
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
Ebony film
Black film is thicker than clear, pushing the tone darker with even less sustain.
Detail 03
Two-ply construction
Roughly twice the film of a single-ply head. Takes harder sticking and lasts longer before denting.
Detail 04
13 inch
Matches a 13-inch tom shell measured across the top. Not adjustable, so the size has to be exact.
Detail 05
Batter head
Goes on the top playing surface. The bottom resonant head is separate and stays whatever you have on now.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head, one tom. Buy per drum for a matched set
- 02Measure the shell across the top, not the old head's rim
- 03Already damped. Adding tape or gel will choke it further
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit a 13-inch tom?
Yes. Tom heads are sized to the shell diameter measured across the top, so a 13-inch tom takes this head.
02How many heads come in the box?
One. This is a single 13-inch head, not a pack, so buy one per tom you are replacing.
03Is black film different from clear?
Yes. The ebony film is thicker, which darkens the tone and shortens sustain compared to a clear head of the same build.
04Do I need moongel with this head?
Usually not. The two plies already damp the ring. Add gels only if you want an extremely dry, dead tom.
