What matters in use
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
Warms the attack slightly and lets brushes work. Uncoated heads sound brighter and don't take brushes.
Detail 02
More material means more durability and shorter sustain, at the cost of some stick sensitivity for quiet playing.
Detail 03
The standard snare size. Measure the shell diameter, not the hoop, to confirm.
Detail 04
The extra plies damp overtones on their own, so you may not need a muffling ring or gel.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
No. Snare-side heads are far thinner so the wires respond. This is a batter head for the top.
Not quieter, but drier and more focused. It cuts ring and sustain rather than volume.
Multi-ply heads take heavy hitting considerably longer than single-ply coated heads before denting or splitting.
Only the diameter matters for head fit. A 14-inch piccolo snare takes a 14-inch head regardless of shell depth.
