14 in. size

AquarianNew Orleans Special Drumhead 14 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 14-inch Aquarian snare head at thirty dollars. For a drummer replacing a worn or dented snare batter on a standard 14-inch snare.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Standard 14-inch snare drums, which covers most kits
- Swapping out a head that has lost its crack or stretched out
- Keeping a spare in the stick bag for gigs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Piccolo, 13-inch or 10-inch snares
- Anyone needing a tom or bass drum head
- Players wanting the resonant side replaced — that is a different, thinner head
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
Snare drum head
Sized and built for the top side of a snare, where stick tip and rimshot contact are constant.
Detail 03
New Orleans Special
A specific model in Aquarian's snare line, not a generic replacement, so units behave the same batch to batch.
Detail 04
$30.99
Entry to mid pricing for a snare head. Cheap enough to keep a backup without much thought.
Detail 05
Single head
A snare uses two. This covers one side; you keep the other unless you plan to change both.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Needs a drum key to swap; loosen and retension rods in a star pattern
- 02Snare wires and strainer are not included and stay on the drum
- 03Expect fresh heads to drop in pitch for the first hour of playing as they settle
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my snare?
If the drum measures 14 inches across the shell, yes. That covers most snares on standard kits. Piccolo and 13-inch snares need their own size.
02Does this replace the top or bottom head?
Treat it as the top, playing side. Bottom snare-side heads are much thinner and are sold separately.
03How often should I replace a snare head?
When it dents at the center, loses its crack, or will not hold tuning. Gigging players change far more often than home players.
04Do I need anything else with it?
Just a drum key. The hoop, rods and snare wires already on your drum get reused.
