Detail 01
Two-ply construction
Two thin films instead of one. Shorter sustain, fewer high overtones, far more dent resistance under heavy sticking.

RemoEmperor Coated Drum Head 15 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 15-inch coated two-ply tom head. Durable and warm, aimed at drummers who hit hard or want less ring from a floor tom.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Hard hitters who dent single-ply heads too fast
- Rock and pop where a controlled, fat tom sound works
- Drummers wanting less overtone without adding muffling
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz players wanting maximum open sustain and sensitivity
- Anyone needing a bright, ringing tom voice
- Drums that aren't 15 inches — head size must match exactly
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
Coated surface
Textured white finish warms the attack slightly and takes brushes. Also reduces stick glare and slip.
Detail 03
15 in. size
This is the drum's rim diameter, not the shell. Measure across the bearing edge if unsure.
Detail 04
Tom head
Batter side — the side you strike. Your resonant bottom head is a separate purchase.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head per pack — you're not getting a full drum set's worth
- 02Measure your drum's diameter first; 15 in. toms are less common
- 03Fresh heads stretch — retune after the first playing session
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on a snare?
It'll fit a 15-inch snare, but it's built as a tom batter. Snare-specific heads are thinner for better wire response.
02Does the coating wear off?
Yes, over time with stick and brush contact, especially in the strike zone. It's normal and doesn't ruin the head, though brush sound suffers.
03How is this different from a single-ply head?
Two plies mean shorter sustain, fewer overtones, more low end, and much longer life. A single ply is more open and sensitive but dents faster.
04Do I need a resonant head too?
Only if yours is worn or missing. This is a batter head for the top. The bottom resonant head is sold separately and changes far less often.
