Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A 12-inch mesh replacement head for Roland V-Drums pads. Buy it when the original head is stretched, torn, or triggering unevenly.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a worn or torn head on a 12-inch pad
  • Restoring even trigger response across a pad's playing surface
  • Keeping a spare on hand for gigging electronic kits

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Pads of any size other than 12 inch
  • Acoustic drums — mesh gives almost no acoustic volume
  • Fixing trigger faults caused by the cone or piezo sensor

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

Mesh, not mylar

Woven fabric surface, so stick noise stays low and the pad's sensor reads the hit instead of the head's pitch.

Detail 02

12 inch

Sized to one pad diameter. It will not stretch onto a 10 or 14, so confirm the pad size before ordering.

Detail 03

Tension adjustable

Rebound comes from how tight you crank it, not from the head itself. Tight is bouncy, loose is soft and slow.

Detail 04

Replacement part

Head only. The hoop, rim, tension rods and sensor from the existing pad get reused.

Detail 05

Roland V-Drums fitment

Cut to Roland's 12-inch pad collar depth, so it seats on the pad's own hoop without shimming.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Head only — no hoop, tension rods, or drum key included.
  2. 02Measure the pad, not the hoop. Roland sizes by playing surface.
  3. 03Uneven triggering can also come from the sensor, not the head.

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Will this fit my 12-inch pad?

It fits Roland 12-inch mesh pads. Pull the old head and check the pad's stated size first — hoop diameter reads larger than the actual head size.

02How tight should I tension it?

Snug and even across every rod, then adjust to taste. Tighter gives more rebound and a smaller stick-feel; looser feels closer to a loose acoustic head.

03Do I need to recalibrate the pad after installing?

Check sensitivity and threshold on your module after the swap. New tension changes how hard the sensor is driven, so trigger settings often need a nudge.

04Can I use this on an acoustic snare?

No. Mesh produces almost no volume and is built for pad triggering, not acoustic tone.
