Clear film
Clear heads ring longer and hit brighter than coated ones. More attack, more sustain, less warmth.

RemoWeather King Clear Emperor Batter Drum Head 15 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 15-inch clear batter head for a large rack or floor tom. For drummers replacing a worn head who want attack and sustain.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Floor toms on a rock or funk kit needing punch
- Replacing a dented or dead 15-inch batter head
- Drummers who mic toms and want clear attack
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a warm, dry, jazz-style tom sound
- Anyone needing a 16-inch floor tom head instead
- Snare or bass drum positions — this is a tom head
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
Batter head
This is the top head you strike. The bottom resonant head is a separate purchase.
Detail 03
15 in.
Head size matches the drum shell diameter, not the rim. Measure the shell to confirm.
Detail 04
Single head, no hardware
You reuse your existing hoop, lugs and tension rods. Nothing else changes on the drum.
Detail 05
Under $35
Cheap enough to change heads on a schedule rather than playing one until it dies.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your shell diameter — 15-inch toms are less common than 14 or 16
- 02Bottom resonant head not included; buy separately if that one is worn
- 03Detune fully, clean the bearing edge, then seat and tune in a star pattern
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the top or bottom head?
Top. It is a batter head, meant to be struck. If your bottom resonant head is also worn, you need a separate resonant head.
02Will this fit a 14-inch tom?
No. Drum heads are sized to the shell diameter, so a 15-inch head only fits a 15-inch drum. Measure the shell, not the outer rim.
03Clear or coated for toms?
Clear gives more attack and longer sustain. Coated is warmer and drier. This one is clear, so expect a brighter, more open tom sound.
04Do I need special tools to install it?
Just a drum key. Remove the hoop, swap the head, hand-tighten the rods, then tune in a star pattern with the key.
