Tom Drum Heads

Tom Drum Heads at Andertons Music Co.

Refresh your drum sound and get the best response from your kit with Tom Drum Heads at Andertons Music Co. Changing your tom heads can have a significant effect on tone, sustain, attack and playing feel, whether you're replacing worn heads or experimenting with a completely different sound. From open and resonant tones to controlled, powerful responses, there's a wide variety of tom heads available for different drums, genres and playing styles.

Batter & Resonant Tom Drum Heads

Most acoustic toms use a batter head on the top and a resonant head underneath, with both contributing to the overall sound of the drum. Batter heads take the impact of your drumsticks and play an important role in attack, durability and feel, while resonant heads help shape sustain and resonance. Experimenting with different combinations and tuning can dramatically change the character of your rack and floor toms.

Single-Ply, Multi-Ply, Clear & Coated Tom Heads

Construction is another important consideration when choosing tom drum heads. Single-ply heads typically provide an open and responsive character, while multi-ply designs can offer increased durability and a more controlled response. Clear heads are often chosen for their attack and definition, while coated heads provide a different feel and tonal character. Dampened and pre-muffled designs offer even greater control over unwanted overtones and sustain.
