- Hard hitters who dent or break thinner batter heads
- Rock and metal snares tuned medium to high

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Light players who want sensitivity at low volume
- Jazz and brush work needing an open, responsive head
- Anyone chasing open sustain and long ring
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
Dry vent holes
Release edge overtones as you play, cutting ring without adding tape or gel.
Detail 03
Coated surface
Adds stick grip and a slightly warmer attack, and lets brushes work if you need them.
Detail 04
Heavy-duty build
Stands up to rimshots and hard backbeats better than a standard single-ply batter.
Detail 05
13 in. size
Matches 13-inch shells only. Measure the drum head diameter, not the hoop.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Batter head only. Resonant snare-side head and drum key are separate
- 02Two-ply heads need seating and a re-tune after the first hour of play
- 03Thick heads feel stiffer under the stick — expect less rebound than a single ply
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between this and the ST Dry?
Both are dry coated 13-inch batters. This one is a heavy two-ply build aimed at durability and a shorter, thicker attack.
02Will it fit a 13-inch piccolo snare?
Yes. Head size is set by shell diameter, not depth, so any 13-inch snare works.
03Is it too dead for a small room?
It is controlled by design. If you want the drum to sing and ring, choose a single-ply head without vent holes.
04How often should I replace it?
When the coating wears through at the center or the head stops holding tune. Two-ply heads typically outlast single-ply.
