Detail 01
12 inch
Matches the RB1181 shell. Head sizing is exact — an inch off and it won't seat correctly.

Rhythm Band12 Replacement Head for RB1181
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 12-inch replacement drumhead for the Rhythm Band RB1181. A repair part — buy it when the head on that specific drum tears.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Repairing an RB1181 rather than replacing the whole drum
- Schools keeping spares for a classroom percussion set
- Restoring an aging hand drum to playable tension
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drums other than the RB1181 — fit is model-specific
- Anyone wanting a tone upgrade rather than a repair
- Standard drum kit toms, which use different head hardware
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
Replacement head
A consumable part. Hand drums in classroom use get struck hard and heads eventually stretch or split.
Detail 03
Model-specific to RB1181
Designed around that drum's rim and mounting. Don't assume it fits another 12-inch hand drum.
Detail 04
$4.99
Costs a fraction of a new drum, so repair is the obvious call over replacement.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Verify your drum is an RB1181 — other models take different heads
- 02No tools, hardware, or tuning key included
- 03Check the rim and hardware too; a torn head can mean deeper damage
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit any 12-inch hand drum?
It's specified for the RB1181. Other 12-inch drums vary in rim and mounting, so confirm your model first.
02What size is this head?
12 inches, matching the RB1181.
03Do I need special tools to install it?
Nothing is included here. Installation depends on how your RB1181's rim and hardware are secured.
04Is this a full drum or just the head?
Just the head. It's a replacement part for a drum you already own.
