Detail 01
Snare side / bottom head
Extremely thin so the snare wires can react. It is not built to take a stick and will tear if struck.

DWClear Snare Side Bottom Head 13 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 13-inch clear resonant head for the snare side. Replacement part for any 13" snare drum whose bottom head has dulled or split.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Refreshing snare response without changing the batter head
- 13" piccolo or auxiliary snares needing a bottom head
- Drummers who want crisper wire response from the snares
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a batter head — this is far too thin to hit
- 14" snares, the common size; the diameter will not fit
- Players wanting a drier, muffled snare sound
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
Clear film
Brighter and more open than a coated head, with more snare buzz and sensitivity to ghost notes.
Detail 03
13 in.
Matches the drum's shell diameter, not the hoop. A 13" snare only, no substitutions.
Detail 04
Single head, no hardware
Just the head. Your existing hoop, tension rods and snare wires get reused.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell, not the hoop — 13" and 14" look similar
- 02Snare wires and hoop are not included
- 03Tune the snare side much tighter than the batter head
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as a top head?
No. Snare-side heads are thin enough to see through and will split under sticks. It only goes on the bottom.
02Will it fit a 14" snare?
No. Head size must match shell diameter exactly, so this fits 13" snares only.
03Clear or coated for the snare side?
Clear is the standard choice. It is more sensitive and lets the snare wires speak with more crack and buzz.
04How tight should I tune it?
Tighter than the batter head. A tight snare side gives faster response and less unwanted rattle.
