RemoPowerstroke 3 Clear Batter Drum Head 16 in.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single-ply clear tom batter with a built-in inlay ring, sized 16 inches. For drummers who want focused attack without taping the head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 16-inch floor toms that ring too long untreated
- Studio work where excess overtones are a problem
- Replacing heads currently covered in gaffer tape or gel
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing long, open sustain from their toms
- Anyone whose floor tom is not 16 inches
- Heavy hitters who repeatedly dent single-ply heads
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
Single-ply film
More sustain and sensitivity than a two-ply head, but it dents more easily under hard playing.
Detail 03
Clear film
Brighter attack than coated, with a smoother surface and less stick friction.
Detail 04
Batter head
Goes on top and gets struck. Not intended as a bottom resonant head.
Detail 05
16 in. size
Matches a 16-inch shell diameter. Measure the shell, not the old head's hoop, to confirm.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only — no hoop, hardware, or tuning key included
- 02Remove old tape or gels; the inlay ring already handles damping
- 03Tune in small, even turns across all lugs after seating
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does Powerstroke 3 actually do?
An inlay ring on the underside of the edge damps unwanted overtones, tightening the note without external muffling.
02Is it single or two ply?
Single ply with the damping ring. If you hit hard and dent heads often, a two-ply like Emperor lasts longer.
03Can I use this on a bass drum?
This one is built as a tom batter. Powerstroke heads are also made for bass drums, but that is a different model.
04Do I still need moongel or tape?
Usually not. The inlay ring handles most overtone control on its own. Add damping only if it still rings too much.
