RemoPinstripe Ebony Crimplock Drum Head 14 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 14-inch Pinstripe head in black with a Crimplock collar, made for marching tenor and quad drums rather than a standard drum kit.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Marching tenor players replacing a worn head on a Crimplock drum
- Drum lines needing a controlled, short-decay tenor voice
- Corps that want a matching black head across the line
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum kit players with standard hoops and tension rods
- Anyone whose drum does not use the Crimplock mounting system
- Players wanting an open, ringing head with long sustain
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
Pinstripe construction
Two plies of film with damping between them. Cuts overtones and shortens decay for a focused note.
Detail 03
Black finish
Cosmetic. Matches dark hardware and uniform lines. No change to how the head sounds.
Detail 04
14 in.
Fits a 14-inch marching drum with Crimplock. Diameter must match the shell exactly.
Detail 05
Two ply
Thicker and more durable than a single-ply head. Takes hard stick work but responds less to light playing.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your drum uses Crimplock mounting, not standard hoops and rods
- 02Single head only. Other drums in the set need their own
- 03Crimplock heads are not interchangeable with standard drum kit heads
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my 14-inch snare or tom?
Only if that drum uses the Crimplock system. On a standard kit drum with a metal hoop and tension rods, this head will not seat.
02What is Crimplock?
A marching drum head mounting system where the head has a molded collar that locks into the drum's hardware, instead of sitting under a separate hoop.
03How does Pinstripe sound compared to a plain two-ply head?
More controlled. The damping between plies shortens sustain and cuts high overtones, giving a shorter, more focused note.
04Does the black film sound different from clear?
No. The color is cosmetic. The film construction determines the sound, and it is the same Pinstripe two-ply build.
