Description
The Chord DHW-15 is a replacement drum head, or drum skin as some players still call it, made for general purpose use. It measures 15 inches and comes in a plain white finish, which suits toms and other drums of that size. If you have worn through your current head or want a fresh one to hand, this gives you a straightforward swap.
White heads like this one are a common choice because they work across most playing styles and settings. There is nothing specialised here, and that is the point. It is a dependable, everyday head you can fit and get back to playing without fuss. The white surface also shows stick marks over time, which some players like as a record of how much use a head has had.
Fitting is the same as any standard 15in head. Remove the old skin, seat the new one over the shell, and tension it evenly with your drum key. We would suggest keeping a spare or two in your kit bag, since heads do wear and a split one can end a session early. The DHW-15 covers that need at a sensible price, so you are not left waiting when a replacement is due.
