Description

The Chord DHC-16 is a replacement drum head with a coated surface, sized at 16 inches. It works as a batter head, meaning the head you strike, and gives you a way to refresh a tired drum without buying a whole new kit. The coating adds a slightly textured finish across the top, which is a common choice for players who want a warmer tone and a bit of extra control.

Coated heads are widely used on snares and toms, and the 16in size suits floor toms and larger toms depending on your setup. The coating helps take some of the brightness off the sound compared with a clear head, so you get a rounder, more focused note. It also gives brushes something to grip against, which is handy if you play jazz or quieter styles where brush work matters.

Fitting a new batter head is one of the simplest ways to keep your drums sounding fresh, since heads wear and dent over time. When you replace a head, take a moment to check the tuning across the lugs so the tension sits evenly all the way round. The DHC-16 is a straightforward, affordable option for anyone keeping a drum kit in good order, whether at home, in a rehearsal room or on stage.
