Description
The Chord DHB-14 is a replacement drum head sized at 14 inches, finished in black. It is a general purpose head, so it suits a range of drums and playing styles without being tied to one specific sound. If you have a worn or damaged head, this gives you a straightforward way to get your kit back in working order.
Drum heads, sometimes called drum skins, take a lot of wear over time. The playing surface stretches, dents and loses tone, which affects how your drum responds and sounds. Fitting a fresh head restores the tension and tone you expect, and the black finish gives a clean, understated look across the kit. The 14 inch size is one of the most common, which makes this a useful head to keep as a spare.
Fitting is simple with basic tools. Remove the old head, seat the new one in the rim, then tighten the tension rods evenly to bring it up to pitch. We would suggest working in a criss-cross pattern to keep the tension balanced across the head. Once tuned, you are ready to play. This head is a practical, no-fuss choice for general use, whether for practice or gigging.
