Description

The Chord DHB-18 is a general purpose drum head in a plain black finish, sized at 18 inches. It works as a straightforward replacement for a worn or damaged head, or as a way to change the look of a kit without spending a lot. We stock it as a single head, so you can order the exact size you need for the drum in question.

This is a versatile head that suits a range of playing situations, from practice to rehearsal and live use. The black colouring gives a darker appearance across the top of the drum, which some players prefer over a clear or white coated head. Fitting is the same as any standard head: remove the old one, seat the new head on the shell, and tension the rods evenly to bring it up to pitch.

At 18 inches, this size is commonly used for bass drums and floor toms, so check the diameter of your drum before ordering. A drum head is sometimes called a drum skin, and the two terms mean the same thing. If you run several drums, buying matching heads across the kit keeps the look and feel consistent. Keep a spare or two on hand, since heads take the most wear of any part on a kit and a replacement is quick to fit when one gives out.

Frequently Asked

What size is this drum head?

It measures 18 inches in diameter. Measure the bearing edge of your drum, not the outer rim, to confirm you need this size.

What is this drum head suitable for?

It is a general purpose head, so it works for practice, rehearsal and live playing. The 18 inch size is common for bass drums and floor toms.

Is a drum head the same as a drum skin?

Yes. Drum head and drum skin refer to the same part, the membrane stretched over the shell that you strike.

Does this come as a single head or a set?

It is sold as a single head in the 18 inch size, so order one per drum you need to fit.

How do I fit a replacement head?

Remove the old head and hoop, seat the new head on the shell, then tension the rods evenly in stages until it reaches the pitch you want.
