Detail 01
Pinstripe
Two plies of film with a free-floating edge between them. The plies damp each other, killing high overtones.

RemoPinstripe Coated Drum Head 8 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 8-inch coated two-ply head for the smallest rack tom. For drummers who want a short, fat note instead of ring.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Taming ring on a small, high-pitched rack tom
- Studio work where toms need a controlled decay
- Loud playing where single-ply heads dent too fast
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing long, open sustain from small toms
- Anyone who needs a bottom resonant head
- Drummers whose smallest tom is 10 inches or larger
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
Textured white surface instead of clear. Slightly warmer attack, softer stick sound, and brush-friendly.
Detail 03
8 in.
Fits an 8-inch shell — the smallest common rack tom. Measure the shell, not the rim.
Detail 04
Two-ply construction
More mass than single-ply, so lower pitch at the same tension and better resistance to denting.
Detail 05
Batter application
Goes on the top of the tom. The underside head stays separate and is not included.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only — no tuning key, muffling, or bottom head included.
- 02Small toms tune high; two-ply heads can choke if overtightened.
- 03Verify shell diameter is 8 inches before ordering.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What's the difference from a clear Pinstripe?
Same two-ply build. The coating adds a bit of warmth, softens the attack, and lets you play brushes on it.
02Will it make my 8-inch tom sound less pingy?
Yes. The two plies cancel high overtones, so you get a shorter, rounder note with far less ring.
03Do I need to add moongel with this?
Usually not. Pinstripe already damps itself, so extra muffling often chokes a tom this small.
04Can I use it on an 8-inch snare or timbale?
It fits any 8-inch shell, but a two-ply head damps the crack those drums are built for.
