Strong match

Who this is for

  • Re-heading a 13-inch snare that has lost its crack
  • Piccolo and auxiliary snare setups needing the odd size
  • Keeping a spare head in the stick bag for gigs

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drummers with the far more common 14-inch snare
  • Anyone needing a thin resonant head for the wire side
  • Players who want a built-in muffling ring or dot

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

13 in.

An off-standard snare size. Measure the shell across the wood; 13 and 14 inch heads are not interchangeable.

Detail 02

Snare head

Built for the batter side. The bottom snare-side head is a separate, much thinner part.

Detail 03

Focus-X

Aquarian's model name for this snare batter, so replacements are easy to reorder by name and size later.

Detail 04

Single head

One head, one side of one drum. Re-heading top and bottom takes two different parts.

Detail 05

Aquarian

Standard hoop and collar sizing, so it seats on typical 13-inch shells without fighting the rim.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Confirm your snare is 13 inches — 14 is far more common and will not fit.
  2. 02No drum key, snare wires or dampening included.
  3. 03Detune evenly in a star pattern when removing the old head to protect the shell.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does this fit a 14 inch snare?

No. Snare heads are sized to the shell diameter and do not stretch to fit. A 13-inch head will sit inside the rim of a 14-inch drum and cannot be tensioned.

02Is this the top or the snare-side head?

It is a batter head for the side you hit. The snare-side head that sits against the wires is a separate, thinner product.

03How do I know when my old head needs replacing?

Visible dents in the center, a dull tone that will not tune out, or pitting where the stick lands. Studio and gigging drummers change snare batters most often.

04Will this work on a piccolo snare?

Yes, if that piccolo is 13 inches across the shell. Depth does not affect head fit — only diameter does.
