Detail 01
Coated surface
Takes brushes and damps some overtones, so the snare sounds warmer and drier than a clear head.

AquarianTexture Coated Power Dot Drum Head 13 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 13-inch coated snare batter head with a center dot for added durability and focus. For drummers who play hard and want a shorter-lived head to last.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 13-inch snare or piccolo snare needing extra attack
- Rimshot-heavy playing that chews through plain single-ply heads
- Drummers who want brush texture plus a tighter, drier sound
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting maximum open ring and sustain from the snare
- Jazz drummers after a thin, sensitive, wide-open response
- Anyone with a 14-inch snare — this will not fit
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
Power Dot
Extra patch at the center adds mass where the stick lands, boosting attack and cutting stick-zone wear.
Detail 03
13 in. size
Fits a 13-inch drum only. Head size matches the drum shell diameter, not the rim or hoop.
Detail 04
Batter head
This is the top playing head. The bottom snare-side head is a separate, much thinner part.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your shell diameter — 13 inch heads will not stretch onto a 14.
- 02Single head only; no snare-side head, tuning key or dampening included.
- 03Plan to detune, seat and re-tune the new head before it settles.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for the top or the bottom of the snare?
Top. It is a batter head you strike. Snare-side (bottom) heads are much thinner and sold separately.
02Will the dot make my snare sound dead?
It reduces overtones in the center and shortens sustain slightly. You get more attack and less ring, not a fully muffled sound.
03Can I use brushes on this?
Yes. The coating gives brushes the texture they need for sweeps, though the center dot area feels different under the brush.
04Does it fit a 13-inch tom too?
Yes, it will mount on any 13-inch drum. It is voiced for snare duty, but it works as a tom batter.
