RemoHazy Extended Timpani Head 28 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
28-inch hazy timpani head for a 28-inch kettle. Replacement part for orchestral and educational timpani, sized to the drum, not adjustable.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Orchestral or school timpani needing a worn head replaced
- Players wanting a warm, blended tone that sits inside an ensemble
- Timpanists who need controlled sustain with clear pitch definition
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum kit use — this fits timpani kettles only
- Anyone with a 26- or 29-inch kettle; diameters are not interchangeable
- Players wanting a bright, aggressive attack
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
Extended collar
Deeper flesh-hoop wrap that seats properly on the kettle counterhoop and allows the full tuning range.
Detail 03
28 in. size
Made for a 28-inch kettle. Timpani heads are matched to the specific drum diameter.
Detail 04
Synthetic film
Far more stable in humidity and temperature swings than calfskin, so pitch holds through a rehearsal.
Detail 05
Timpani-specific build
Voiced for definite pitch across a tuning range, unlike tom or bass drum heads.
Final check

- 03Plan to re-seat and clear the head after mounting, then re-check pedal range.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I know if I need 28-inch?
Measure your kettle's head diameter, or check the size stamped on the old head. Timpani head sizes must match the drum exactly.
02What is the difference between hazy and clear?
Hazy is slightly frosted and gives a warmer, rounder tone with softer overtones. Clear is brighter with more attack and more ring.
03Can I install this myself?
Yes, with a drum key and patience. Remove the counterhoop, seat the new head evenly, tension in a star pattern, then clear and set the pedal range.
04How often should timpani heads be replaced?
When pitch stops holding, the center is stretched or dented, or tone goes dull. Frequency depends on playing hours and stick use, not calendar age.
