Detail 01
Pinstripe construction
Two plies with a damping agent between them, so overtones cancel and the note decays fast on its own.

RemoPinstripe Coated Drum Head 15 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 15-inch coated Pinstripe tom head. For drummers who want short, controlled sustain and a warmer attack without adding muffling.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock and pop players who want toms that stop ringing quickly
- Miked or recorded kits where long overtones cause problems
- Replacing a ringy single-ply head without taping or gels
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz players wanting open, singing toms with long sustain
- Drummers chasing maximum stick attack and brightness
- Anyone needing a snare batter — this is a tom size
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
Warms the attack and softens the top end compared to a clear head of the same build.
Detail 03
15 in. size
A less common tom size. Confirm your drum measures 15 inches across the shell, not the hoop.
Detail 04
Single head, not a pack
Covers one drum only. A full tom setup needs several heads bought separately.
Detail 05
Batter-weight build
Thicker than a resonant head. Meant for the stick side, not the bottom of the drum.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell diameter, not the hoop or the old head's outer ring
- 02No resonant head, tuning key, or dampening included
- 03Two-ply heads need a few tuning passes to settle after first mounting
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for the top or bottom of the tom?
The top. It's a batter head built for stick contact. Bottom heads are thinner and sold separately as resonant heads.
02Coated or clear Pinstripe — what's the difference?
Both control sustain the same way. Coated sounds warmer with a softer attack; clear is brighter and more cutting.
03Will this stop my toms from ringing?
Largely, yes. The two-ply build damps overtones itself, which is usually enough to skip tape or gel rings.
04Can I use it on a snare?
Not at this size. 15 inches is a tom diameter, and Pinstripe's short sustain doesn't suit most snare work.
