Detail 01
Power Dot
An added patch at the center thickens the strike zone. Cuts overtones, boosts attack, and slows wear where the stick lands.

AquarianTexture Coated Power Dot Drum Head 12 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 12-inch coated snare head with a center power dot. For drummers who want extra attack and durability at the stick's strike zone.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Piccolo or 12" snare needing a focused, cutting crack
- Hard hitters who wear through the center of plain heads
- Drummers who want dry attack without adding external muffling
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting open, sensitive ghost-note response
- Toms — the dot changes voicing toward snare attack
- Drummers chasing warm jazz sensitivity at low volume
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
Coated surface
Texture warms the tone and enables brush work. Also gives a drier attack than a clear head.
Detail 03
12 inch
Fits a 12" snare shell. Small snares tune higher and sound crackier than the standard 14" size.
Detail 04
Snare head voicing
Built for the batter side of a snare, where attack and articulation matter more than sustain.
Detail 05
$30.99
Priced below most multi-ply specialty snare heads — a normal replacement cost, not a premium purchase.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Single head only — no tuning key or dampening accessories included
- 02This is the batter side; the thin snare-side head is a separate purchase
- 03The dot reduces sensitivity at the center — light ghost notes speak less
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does the power dot actually do?
It adds material where the stick hits. That means more attack, fewer high overtones, and longer life before the center dents or splits.
02Can I put this on a 12-inch tom?
It will fit, but it is voiced for snare duty. The dot chokes tom sustain, so toms will sound short and dry.
03Do I need to muffle it?
Usually not. The dot already cuts ring. Start undamped and add moongel only if the snare still sounds too open.
04Is this a good head for hard hitters?
Yes — the reinforced center is aimed at exactly that. It resists denting where a plain single-ply head wears first.
