Description
The Chord DHB-6 is a replacement drum head measuring 6 inches, finished in black. It's a general purpose head, so it suits a range of drums where you want a straightforward, reliable skin without any fuss. If you've split an old head or you're refreshing a kit, this gives you a simple like-for-like option.
The black finish keeps the look consistent across a kit and pairs well with darker shells and hardware. As a general purpose head, it's a sensible choice for practice, rehearsal and everyday playing, giving you a workable tone across toms and smaller drums at the 6 inch size. Fitting is the same as any standard head: seat it over the shell, drop on the hoop and tension it evenly with the lugs.
When ordering a replacement, always check the size against your existing head so it matches the drum correctly. Drum heads are sometimes called drum skins in the UK, and both terms refer to the same part. This 6 inch head is a single item, so if you're replacing batter and resonant sides you'll need one for each. Keep a spare on hand and you won't be caught out mid-session by a torn head.
