Detail 01
Coated surface
Textured rather than smooth. Warms the attack, cuts overtones slightly, and is what makes brushes audible.

EvansGenera Concert Coated Head 14 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 14-inch coated concert head for orchestral and band snare or tom work. For players who want a controlled, warm attack rather than a bright crack.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert band or orchestral snare needing a defined but warm sound
- Brush work, where the coating gives the surface to drag on
- Replacing a worn batter head on a 14-inch concert drum
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Marching lines, where a high-tension marching head suits better
- Players wanting maximum brightness and stick attack from a clear head
- Any drum that is not 14 inches
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.
The standard concert snare size and a common floor-tom-range size. Measure the shell, not the hoop.
Detail 03
Concert head
Voiced for the moderate tensions and dynamic range of orchestral playing rather than a hard-hitting kit or drumline.
Detail 04
Genera series
Evans' controlled-sound line. Expect less ring and more focus than a plain single-ply head.
Detail 05
$20.99
Mid-range for a batter head. Worth pairing with a fresh snare-side head if that one is also old.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only — no snare-side head included
- 02Coated surfaces wear down over time and the tone brightens as they do
- 03Detune evenly in a star pattern when swapping, and seat the new head before tuning up
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on my drum kit snare?
Yes. A 14-inch coated head works fine on a kit snare. It will read warmer and less cracking than a head built for heavy backbeat playing, which some players want and some don't.
02Coated or clear for concert snare?
Coated. The texture warms the attack, tames overtones, and is required if you play with brushes. Clear heads are brighter and more open.
03Does this include the snare-side head?
No. This is the batter head, the one you strike. The thin snare-side head underneath is a separate purchase.
04Will it fit a 14-inch tom?
Yes, any 14-inch drum. On a tom it will give a controlled, warm note with less sustain than a plain single-ply head.
