RemoWeatherking TI-2600-03 Clear Regular Timpani Head - 29 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 29-inch clear timpani head for concert timpani. For orchestral and ensemble players replacing a worn head on a large drum.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert or orchestral timpani in a school or hall
- Replacing a stretched, dead head on a 29-inch kettle
- Players wanting clear pitch definition and long sustain
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum set or marching drums — timpani heads are not interchangeable
- Anyone wanting a dry, dampened sound
- Kettles of any other diameter
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
Weatherking
Remo's synthetic film construction. Unlike calfskin it holds pitch through humidity and temperature swings.
Detail 03
29 inch
Sized for a 29-inch kettle. Timpani sizing is exact — a 29 will not work on a 26 or 32.
Detail 04
Regular collar
Standard collar depth, matching typical timpani counterhoop geometry rather than an extended-collar drum.
Detail 05
Single head
Timpani have only a batter head. This is the whole playing surface, so its condition drives the whole sound.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Verify your kettle is 29 inches — measure the shell, not the hoop
- 02One head, no counterhoop, tension rods or tuning hardware
- 03Plan time to seat and clear the head across the full pitch range
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I know what size timpani head I need?
Measure the diameter of the bowl at the top rim, not the counterhoop. Timpani are sized by bowl diameter, and the head must match exactly.
02Clear or coated for timpani?
Clear gives a brighter attack, longer sustain and more defined pitch. Coated is warmer and drier. Clear is the more common concert choice.
03Does this work on a Remo timpani only?
It fits any 29-inch timpani with standard collar geometry, not just one maker's kettle.
04How often should a timpani head be replaced?
When it will no longer tune evenly across its range, sounds dead at pitch, or shows stretching and pitting at the playing spot.
