Detail 01
Snare side
Mounts on the bottom, under the snare wires. Much thinner than a batter head and not built to be struck.

Evans300 Snare Side Clear Drum Head - 14 in.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bottom head for a 14-inch snare drum. The thin, clear head the snare wires sit against. A routine replacement part, not a batter.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restoring snare response after the bottom head dents or wrinkles
- Any standard 14-inch snare drum, wood or metal shell
- Keeping a spare in the stick bag for gigs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a top head to hit — this will tear
- Snares that are not 14 inches across
- Players wanting a thicker, more durable playing surface
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 wire response crisp and immediate.
Detail 03
14 in.
Matches a 14-inch snare shell, the standard size on most kits. Piccolo and 13-inch snares need a different head.
Detail 04
Thin gauge
Responds to light strokes and ghost notes, but dents easily if you drop the drum on it.
Detail 05
Bottom head only
Does not include the batter head or the snare wires. Those are separate parts.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Loosen and swing the snare wires clear before removing the old bottom head
- 02Snare wires, cord, and batter head are not included
- 03Handle by the hoop — a fingernail through the film ruins it
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. It is far too thin for stick contact and will puncture quickly. Use a batter head on top.
02How tight should I tune it?
Snare side heads run tighter than the batter. Tune until it is taut and even at every lug, then adjust wire tension.
03Will it fit a 13-inch snare?
No. This is 14 inches. Measure your shell diameter and match it exactly.
04How often should I replace it?
When you see dents under the wires, wrinkles, or the snare response goes dull and choked. It wears faster than most players expect.
