Detail 01
Snare side head
Goes on the bottom, under the wires. It is far thinner than a batter head and will tear if you strike it.

DWClear Snare Side Bottom Head 14 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 14-inch clear resonant head for the bottom of a snare drum. Replacement part for when the snare response goes dull or the head tears.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restoring snare wire response on a tired drum
- Replacing a bottom head split near the snare beds
- Routine maintenance alongside a new batter head
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a batter head to hit on top
- Snares that are not 14 inches across
- Toms, kick drums, or any other shell size
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
14 in.
Measured across the shell, not the rim. It fits 14-inch snares only, which covers most standard kits.
Detail 03
Clear film
Open and bright compared to a coated head, letting the snare wires speak with more crack and sensitivity.
Detail 04
Resonant, not batter
It controls snare wire sensitivity and buzz far more than the drum's overall pitch or attack.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your snare shell diameter first, rim size is not the same thing
- 02No snare wires, tension rods, or drum key included
- 03Tune the bottom head tighter than the batter for a crisp response
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I put this on top of my snare?
No. Snare side heads are thin resonant heads. Hitting one with a stick will puncture it quickly.
02How do I know if I need 14 inches?
Measure straight across the drum shell itself, not including the rim or hoop. Most standard snares are 14 inches.
03How tight should I tune it?
Tighter than the batter head. A tighter snare side head gives more crack and cleaner wire response.
04Does this come with snare wires?
No. This is the head only. Wires, tension rods, and a drum key are separate.
