AquarianHi-Performance Snare Bottom Drum Head - 13 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 13-inch snare-side head, the thin bottom head that sits against the wires. For anyone replacing a dented or dead resonant head on a 13-inch snare.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Refreshing snare response on a 13-inch piccolo or auxiliary snare
- Players who broke the bottom head and need a like-for-like swap
- Kit owners doing a full head change on a budget
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a batter head — this goes on the bottom
- 13-inch tom rebuilds; a snare-side head is far too thin
- Players wanting a dramatic tonal change rather than a repair
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 02
13 in.
Head size matches shell diameter, not rim or hoop measurement. A 13-inch snare needs a 13-inch head.
Detail 03
Snare-side thickness
Much thinner than a batter head, so it reacts to the wires. It also dents and tears more easily.
Detail 04
$22.99
Bottom heads last longer than batters, so this is a change you make once every several batter swaps.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Snare wires, straps and a drum key are not included
- 02Measure the shell diameter, not the old head's outer hoop
- 03Tune bottom heads tighter than the batter for snare response
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this go on the top or bottom?
The bottom. It is the snare-side resonant head that the wires rest against. Your top head is a separate batter head.
02Will this fit a 14-inch snare?
No. This is a 13-inch head and only fits a 13-inch snare drum.
03Do I get snare wires with it?
No. This is the head only. Wires, straps and hardware are separate.
04How often should I replace a snare bottom head?
Far less often than the batter. Replace it when it dents, tears, or the snares start choking and losing sensitivity.
