How to choose

Choose tom heads by coating and tuck design, since these affect how much attack and sustain each tom has.

Beginner

An Aquarian Texture Coated or Remo clear tom head in your kit's sizes is a simple first replacement. Change and tune one tom at a time so you can hear how each new head affects that drum before moving to the next.

Intermediate

Players wanting a warmer, vintage tone often try the Aquarian Modern Vintage or Force Ten range across their tom set. Try matching heads across all your toms for a consistent voice, or mix models to shape each drum differently.

Expert

Experienced players fine-tuning tom tone often choose Aquarian Focus-X or Reflector heads for their specific attack and sustain qualities. Keep a spare set of tom heads for touring, since a full head change between takes or sets can shift a kit's whole character.
