Detail 01
Snare side
Goes on the bottom, under the wires. Extremely thin, so it responds to the wires rather than to sticks.

1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A thin 14-inch snare-side head for the bottom of a snare drum. The cheapest fix for a snare that has lost its crack.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Reviving an unresponsive snare with a stretched bottom head
- Routine maintenance on a 14-inch kit or concert snare
- Restoring sensitivity to ghost notes and light strokes
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a batter head to strike — this is not playable on top
- 13-inch snares or tom bottoms
- Heavy-hitting marching use, where thin heads tear fast
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
14 in.
Must match shell diameter exactly. Depth of the drum does not affect which size you need.
Detail 03
Genera 200 gauge
A thin film weight. Thinner means more sensitivity and wire response; it also means it punctures more easily.
Detail 04
Sold as a single head
Replaces only the resonant bottom head. The top batter head is a separate purchase.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Do not strike this head. A stick or brush will tear it almost immediately
- 02Wires and straps not included; reuse yours or buy separately
- 03Tune snare-side heads high and evenly — low tension kills the snare response
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I hit this head with sticks?
No. Snare-side heads are thin by design and will puncture. It belongs on the bottom of the drum, under the wires.
02How tight should a snare-side head be?
Tighter than the batter head. High, even tension across all lugs is what gives you the crisp response from the wires.
03How often should I replace it?
When the snare sounds dull, choked, or unresponsive to light strokes even after retuning, or if the film has visible dents or pinholes.
04Will this fit a 13-inch snare?
No. Match the head to your shell diameter. A 14 in. head will not seat on a 13 in. drum.
