1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Coated single-ply snare batter with a center dot. For drummers who want a bright coated attack with more durability and focus than a plain single-ply.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rimshot-heavy rock and pop playing that eats through plain heads
- Brush work needing coated texture with a stronger center
- Backline or gigging snares that get hit hard nightly
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers wanting maximum open ring and sensitivity from a bare single-ply
- Jazz players chasing the thinnest, most responsive ghost-note feel
- Anyone needing a resonant bottom head — this is a batter
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
Single-ply with a center patch
Keeps single-ply openness at the edges while the middle handles stick impact and dries out overtones slightly.
Detail 03
14 in.
Standard snare diameter. Measure your shell, not the old head, since hoop size does not tell you drum size.
Detail 04
Batter head
Goes on the top, playing side. The bottom snare-side head is thinner and sold separately.

- 03Confirm your snare is 14 in., not 13 in. or 15 in.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the top or bottom head?
Top. It is a batter head, meant for the playing side. The bottom snare-side head is a separate, much thinner head.
02Will it work with brushes?
Yes. The coating gives brushes the texture they need to produce sweep sound.
03How does it compare to a plain coated single-ply?
The added center area focuses the sound and takes stick wear at the impact point, so it lasts longer under hard playing and rings a bit less.
04Does it fit a 14 in. piccolo snare?
Yes, if the shell diameter is 14 in. Depth does not affect head size.
