Detail 01
Coated surface
Textured white finish that brushes can grab. Also damps some overtones, so the drum sounds warmer than a clear head.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Coated single-ply 14-inch batter head for snare. The default choice when a stock head is worn out and you want brushes to work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn factory snare head on a starter kit
- Brush playing, where the coating provides the surface texture
- Players who want a warmer, less ringy snare voice
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Heavy hitters who need a two-ply head's durability
- Anyone wanting maximum stick attack and bright crack
- Toms or bass drum — this is a snare batter size
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.
Head diameter must match your drum's shell size, not the hoop. Most standard snares are 14 in.
Detail 03
Batter head
This is the top head you hit. The thin bottom snare-side head is a separate part.
Detail 04
Single ply
One layer of film. More open and sensitive than two-ply, with less life under hard playing.
Detail 05
Snare drum head
Sized and built for snare use. Tuning range sits higher than a tom head of the same diameter.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell diameter, not the hoop or the old head's printed size
- 02One head only — the snare-side bottom head is bought separately
- 03You will need a drum key to seat and tune it evenly
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit a 14 inch snare?
Yes, if your shell measures 14 inches across. Measure the drum shell itself rather than trusting the size printed on your existing head.
02Can I use brushes on this?
Yes. The coating is what gives brushes something to grab, so you get a proper sweep sound instead of a slick, silent surface.
03Is this the top or bottom head?
The top batter head, the one you strike. The bottom snare-side head is a much thinner, separate item.
04Will it work on a tom?
It will physically fit a 14 inch tom, but it is voiced for snare tuning. A tom head of the same size is the better match.
