Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 14-inch Evans snare head at entry-level money. For a drummer replacing a worn or dented head on a standard 14-inch snare.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Re-heading a dented or pitted 14-inch snare
- A spare head in the stick bag for gigs
- School and practice kits that get hammered daily
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Snares that aren't 14 inches — heads don't stretch to fit
- Toms or bass drums, which take different sizes
- Anyone re-heading a whole kit from one purchase
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
Snare drum head
Built for the snare's tension range. It won't cover a tom or bass drum.
Detail 03
Evans
Head sizing is standard across brands, so it seats on hoops from any drum maker.
Detail 04
$30.99
Single-head money. Re-heading a five-piece kit costs several times this.
Detail 05
Sold as one head
Covers one side of one drum. Batter and resonant sides are separate purchases.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01You need a drum key to seat and tension it evenly
- 02Measure the shell across the bearing edge, not the rim
- 03One head only — a full kit re-head takes several
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my 14 inch snare?
Yes, if the shell measures 14 inches across. Measure the drum itself, not the outside of the hoop — the hoop reads wider than the actual head size.
02Does it come with snare wires?
No. This is the head alone. Wires, hoop, and tension rods stay on your drum.
03How often should I change a snare head?
When it dents, pits, or stops holding tune. Heavy players go through them in weeks; light players get months out of one.
04Do I need any tools?
A drum key. Loosen the rods in a star pattern, swap the head, then re-tension in the same pattern.
