13-inch coated Pinstripe tom head. Two plies with edge damping for a short, fat note. For players who want controlled toms without added muffling.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Rack toms in rock, funk, and loud stage settings
  • Drummers who want to stop taping and gelling their toms
  • Replacing a thin single-ply head that rings too long

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Jazz players wanting long, open sustain
  • Anyone needing a bright, sensitive single-ply response
  • Toms other than 13 inch

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 01

Pinstripe two-ply

Two films with a damping ring between them. Cuts overtones and sustain, adds durability under hard hitting.

Detail 02

Coated

Textured white surface. Warmer and slightly drier than clear film, and takes brushes.

Detail 03

13 in.

Fits a 13-inch tom only. Measure the shell diameter, not the hoop or the old head's rim.

Detail 04

Two-ply thickness

Harder to tension into a high, singing pitch. Sits best at medium to low tunings.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Head only; no hoop, tension rods, or tuning key included
  2. 02Two-ply heads feel stiffer under the stick than single-ply
  3. 03Batter side — pair with a resonant head if you are replacing both

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Is this a batter or resonant head?

Batter. It goes on the top of the tom, the side you strike. Resonant heads are thinner and sit underneath.

02Do I still need moongel or tape?

Usually not. The two-ply construction and internal damping ring already shorten sustain and cut overtones.

03Coated or clear Pinstripe?

Coated is warmer and drier, and works with brushes. Clear is brighter with more attack. Same damping either way.

04Will it fit a 13-inch snare?

It is a tom head. It will fit a 13-inch shell, but a snare batter head is built for snare response and stick definition.
