EvansEC Reverse Dot Coated Snare Batter Head 13
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 13-inch coated snare batter head with a control ring and a dot on the underside. For drummers who want built-in overtone control.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn batter on a 13-inch snare
- Drummers who want controlled sustain without adding tape
- Players using brushes who need a coated surface
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone with a 14-inch snare or other diameter
- Drummers who want a fully open, ringing snare
- Resonant-side replacement, since this is a batter head
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
Coated finish
Gives brushes something to grab and takes some edge off the attack compared to a clear head.
Detail 03
Edge control ring
Damping is built into the head, so you get shorter sustain without laying tape or gel on top.
Detail 04
13-inch size
Fits 13-inch snares only. Head size is the drum's diameter, not the shell depth.
Detail 05
Batter head
Goes on the top, struck side. The bottom snare-side head is a separate, much thinner head.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your snare is 13 inches before ordering, not 14
- 02Sold as one head; no drum key or snare-side head included
- 03Expect to retune over the first few sessions as it settles
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a 14-inch snare?
No. Drum heads are size-specific. A 13-inch head will not seat on a 14-inch drum, so measure your snare's diameter first.
02What does the reverse dot actually do?
The dot is on the underside, adding reinforcement and focus at the center while leaving the top surface smooth and unbroken under the stick.
03Do I still need moongel or tape?
Usually not. The control ring already shortens sustain. Add more damping only if your room or tuning still gives too much ring.
04Can I use brushes on it?
Yes. The coating provides the texture brushes need. Brushes will wear the coating over time, which is normal.
