Detail 01
Coated finish
Warmer, softer attack than clear film, and it takes brushes.

RemoPowerstroke 3 Coated Batter Head 12 in.
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 12-inch coated batter head with a built-in muffling ring. For tom players who want controlled sustain and a warm attack out of the box.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rack toms that ring too long in a live or recorded mix
- Players who want damping without taping gels to the head
- Replacing a worn 12-inch tom batter head
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers chasing maximum open sustain and long tom decay
- Players who want a bright, glassy clear-head attack
- Any drum that is not 12 inches
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
Powerstroke 3 underlay ring
A damping ring at the outer edge trims overtones while leaving the center of the head open.
Detail 03
12-inch diameter
Standard rack tom size. Measure the shell, not the old head, to confirm.
Detail 04
Batter head
Top side only. The bottom resonant head is separate and affects sustain just as much.
Detail 05
Single-ply with edge damping
Keeps single-ply sensitivity and stick response, but without the uncontrolled ring.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only — no drum key or hardware included
- 02The resonant bottom head still controls pitch bend and sustain; consider replacing both
- 03Coated heads wear visibly with stick use; that is normal, not a defect
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need moongel with this head?
Generally no. The built-in edge ring already handles most of the ring. Add gel only if you want an even drier, shorter tom note.
02Coated or clear for toms?
Coated is warmer with a softer attack and works with brushes. Clear is brighter with more attack and sustain. This one is coated.
03Will this fit a 12-inch snare?
It matches a 12-inch diameter, but it is built as a tom batter head. Snare batter heads are a different design and respond differently to snare wires.
04How tight should I tune it?
Start with even finger-tight tension at every lug, then bring all lugs up in small equal turns until the wrinkles are gone and the pitch is where you want it.
