Description

The Chord DHW-12 is a replacement drum head in a white finish, sized at 12 inches. It is a general purpose head, which means it suits a wide range of playing styles and drum types rather than being tied to one specific setup. If you need to swap out a worn or damaged head, this gives you a straightforward option to get your kit sounding right again.

White drum heads, sometimes called drum skins, give you a slightly warmer tone compared to clear heads, along with a softer visual look on the kit. The 12 inch size is a common fitting for rack toms, so it is worth checking your drum measurement before you order to make sure you have the correct match. We measure heads by the diameter of the shell they fit, not the depth of the drum.

Fitting a new head is a task most drummers can handle at home with a drum key. You remove the old head, seat the new one, then tension the rods evenly around the rim until you reach the pitch you want. Keeping a spare head or two on hand is a sensible habit, since heads wear over time and can split during heavier playing. The DHW-12 covers that need without any fuss.

Frequently Asked

What size drum does the DHW-12 fit?

It fits a 12 inch drum, measured across the diameter of the shell. Check your drum before ordering, as heads are sized by shell diameter rather than depth.

What is the difference between white and clear drum heads?

White heads tend to give a slightly warmer tone and a softer look on the kit, while clear heads are often a touch brighter. The choice is largely down to your preference.

Is this a general purpose head?

Yes. The DHW-12 is a general purpose head, so it suits a range of playing styles and drum types rather than being made for one specific use.

Do I need special tools to fit it?

You need a drum key to loosen the old head and tension the new one. It is a job most drummers can do at home in a few minutes.

Can I use it as a replacement head?

Yes, it is designed as a replacement for worn or damaged 12 inch heads. Keeping a spare handy is useful, as heads wear over time.
