Description

The Chord DHC-10 is a replacement drum head with a coated surface, sized at 10 inches. We stock these as a straightforward option for anyone needing to replace a worn or damaged head, whether you're refreshing a full kit or swapping out a single drum that's seen better days.

The coating gives the surface a matt finish rather than a clear one, which slightly warms the tone and adds a bit of texture. That texture is useful if you play with brushes, since a coated head gives brushes something to grip against. These heads are designed as batter heads, meaning they go on the top of the drum where you strike, rather than on the underside.

At 10 inches, this size suits a rack tom on most standard kits, though it's worth checking your existing head measurement before ordering since drum sizes vary between makers. Fitting is simple: remove the old head, seat the new one on the shell, then tension it evenly with your drum key. As with any drum head, take your time tuning it up gradually across the lugs to get a consistent pitch and avoid pulling it out of shape.

Frequently Asked

What size is this drum head?

It's a 10 inch head, which suits a rack tom on many standard kits. Measure your existing head before ordering, as sizes vary between drum makers.

Is this a batter head or a resonant head?

It's designed as a batter head, so it fits on the top of the drum where you strike it, rather than on the underside.

What does the coated surface do?

The coating gives a matt finish that slightly warms the tone and adds texture. It also lets brushes grip the surface, which clear heads don't allow.

Can I use this with brushes?

Yes. The coated surface gives brushes something to grip against, making it a good choice if brush playing is part of your setup.

How do I fit it?

Remove the old head, seat the new one on the shell, then tension it evenly with a drum key. Tune gradually across the lugs for a consistent pitch.
