Detail 01
Snare side head
Mounts on the bottom, under the wires. Very thin so the wires rattle freely and the drum responds to ghost notes.

Evans300 Snare Side Clear Drum Head - 13 in.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
13-inch clear snare-side head. Thin bottom head that lets the snare wires respond. Fits a 13-inch snare drum.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a torn or stretched bottom head on a 13-inch snare
- Players who want crisp, articulate snare-wire response
- Keeping a spare in the stick bag — snare-side heads tear at the worst time
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Use as a batter head — it is far too thin to strike
- 13-inch toms, which need a proper tom head
- Anyone with a 14-inch snare, the more common 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
Clear film
No coating, so nothing damps the film. Keeps the snare response crisp and open.
Detail 03
13 in. size
Matches a 13-inch snare shell. A 14-inch drum needs a 14-inch head; there is no adjustment range.
Detail 04
300 series
Evans' standard-weight snare-side line — balanced between sensitivity and tear resistance.
Detail 05
Thin gauge
Tears easily if you drop a stick on it or over-tension it. Tune it up firm but do not crank it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Bottom head only — your batter head and snare wires are separate
- 02Tension evenly and firmly; uneven tuning here kills snare response fast
- 03Loosen the wires before removing or seating the head to avoid a tear
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the top or bottom head?
Bottom. It goes on the snare side, under the wires. The top batter head is a separate, much thicker head.
02Will this fit a 14-inch snare?
No. This is 13 inches and must match a 13-inch shell. Head diameter follows shell diameter exactly.
03Why is it so thin?
Thin film lets the snare wires react to the batter head. A thicker head would choke the wires and dull the drum's sensitivity.
04How tight should a snare-side head be?
Tighter than the batter, evenly across all lugs, but stop short of straining it. Over-tensioning is the usual cause of tears.
