Strong match

Who this is for

  • Reheading rack and floor toms in one purchase
  • Kits running 13-inch rack with 16 and 18 floors
  • Drummers who want one consistent head across the toms

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Snare or kick — no head in this pack fits those
  • Kits with 10 or 12 inch rack toms
  • Anyone needing a single replacement size

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

13 / 16 / 18 inch sizes

Covers one rack tom and two floors. Common on larger jazz and vintage-sized kits, not modern 10/12/14 setups.

Detail 02

Sold as a 3-pack

Cheaper per head than buying singles, but only if all three sizes match drums you actually own.

Detail 03

Head diameter is shell diameter

Drum heads are sized to the shell, not the outer hoop. Measure across the bare shell before ordering.

Detail 04

Emperor series

Remo's fuller, shorter-sustain tom line. Expect more body and less ring than a single-ply head.

Detail 05

Batter side only

One head per drum. Resonant heads underneath are a separate purchase if those need replacing too.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your shells first; 16 and 18 are floor tom sizes
  2. 02Bottom resonant heads are not included
  3. 03Budget an hour to strip, clean and tune three drums

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Will these fit a standard five-piece kit?

Only if your toms are 13, 16 and 18 inches. Many five-piece kits use 12 and 14, which this pack does not cover.

02Are these top or bottom heads?

Batter heads for the top side. Resonant bottom heads are thinner and sold separately.

03How do I measure my drum for the right size?

Pull the old head off and measure straight across the bare shell edge to edge. Ignore the hoop and rim.

04Do I need any tools?

A drum key for the tension rods. Nothing else, though a rod lubricant makes tuning smoother afterward.
