We stock it as a straightforward option for anyone needing to swap out a worn or damaged head without fuss. It fits standard 12in drums, so you can drop it into a tom or a smaller snare setup as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coated finish is the main feature here. A coated head (sometimes called a frosted head) gives a warmer, slightly softer tone compared to a clear head, and it takes brush work well thanks to the textured surface. It is designed for use as a batter head, meaning the top head you strike, rather than the resonant head fitted underneath. If you play with brushes or want a bit more attack control, the coating helps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitting is the same as any standard head. Loosen and remove the tension rods and hoop, lift off the old head, seat the DHC-12 on the bearing edge, then refit the hoop and rods before tuning to your preference. We would suggest tuning in a star pattern to keep tension even across the head. Keep a drum key to hand and check the tuning again after the first playing session, as new heads tend to settle in slightly. For 12in drums this is a practical, no-nonsense replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.15KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15mm x 320mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrum size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size drum does the DHC-12 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a 12in head, so it fits standard 12in drums such as toms and some snares.
