Strong match

Who this is for

  • 16-inch floor toms needing controlled sustain
  • Rock and pop drummers wanting a punchy, pre-dampened tone
  • Players tired of taping or gelling toms to kill ring

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Jazz players wanting open, singing tom resonance
  • Anyone chasing bright attack and long sustain
  • Snare or bass drum use — this is sized and built for toms

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 plies bonded at the edge with a floating design that cancels overtones and shortens decay.

Detail 02

Coated

Textured white surface. Slightly warmer and less bright than the clear version, and takes brushes.

Detail 03

Two-ply

Thicker and more durable than single-ply. Harder to dent, but less sensitive at low volumes.

Detail 04

16 in.

Shell diameter. On most kits this is a floor tom, not a rack tom.

Detail 05

Tom head

Fits the batter or resonant side of a 16-inch tom. Batter side is the usual choice.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure shell diameter, not the hoop, before ordering
  2. 02One head only — the resonant side is a separate purchase
  3. 03Two-ply heads tune lower easily but resist very high tension tuning

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Coated or clear Pinstripe?

Coated is a little warmer with slightly less attack, and works with brushes. Clear is brighter and more cutting. Both have the same dampening.

02Do I need moongel with this head?

Usually not. The two-ply floating design already cuts overtones. Extra dampening can make the tom sound choked.

03Will this work on a snare?

It is built and sized as a tom head. On a snare it would sound thick and dull, and it is not a snare-side head.

04Does this fit a 16-inch floor tom?

Yes, as long as the shell measures 16 inches across. Head sizing follows shell diameter, not hoop width.
