Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Three Remo Vintage Emperor tom heads in one box, sized 10, 12 and 13 inches. For a kit whose rack toms match those diameters.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Kits with 10, 12 and 13 inch toms needing a full refresh
  • Players who want all three toms on one head line
  • Replacing a beaten-up set in a single purchase

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Kits with a 14 or 16 inch floor tom
  • Anyone needing a snare or bass drum head
  • Players who only need one tom head replaced

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

10/12/13 inch sizing

Those are shell diameters, not depths. A 12x9 and a 12x10 tom both take the same 12 inch head.

Detail 02

Sold as a 3-pack

Roughly fifteen dollars a head, cheaper than buying the three sizes separately at single-head prices.

Detail 03

All three from the Vintage Emperor line

Toms respond consistently across the kit instead of one drum behaving differently because it carries a different head.

Detail 04

No 14 inch head in the set

Most floor toms and every snare are left out. This covers rack toms only on a standard kit.

Detail 05

Remo sizing standard

Fits any drum of that diameter regardless of brand. Head sizing is universal, so the shells do not need to be Remo.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your shells across the top edge; many kits run 10/12/14, not 10/12/13
  2. 02A drum key is needed to swap heads and is not in the box
  3. 03Bottom resonant heads are separate; this set covers three drums, not six

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Will these fit my Pearl or Tama toms?

Yes. Drum head sizing is standard across brands, so a 12 inch head fits any 12 inch tom regardless of who made the kit.

02Do I need to buy the bottom heads too?

Only if your resonant heads are damaged. This pack gives you three heads, enough for one side of three toms.

03What if my kit has a 14 inch floor tom?

This set will not cover it. You would need to add a 14 inch head separately, or look at a pack that includes a larger size.

04How long does a swap take?

About ten minutes per drum once you have a drum key. Pull the old head, seat the new one, tension the lugs in a star pattern.
