Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bottom resonant head for a 13-inch snare. Replaces a torn or worn snare-side head; sold as a single head, not a batter.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a split snare-side head on a 13-inch snare
- Restoring snare response that has gone dull or choked
- Piccolo and auxiliary snares in a 13-inch size
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a batter head — this goes on the bottom
- Toms or bass drums, which use thicker resonant heads
- Drums that are not 13 inches across the shell
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
Clear film
No coating or damping layer, so the snare buzz stays open and articulate rather than muffled.
Detail 03
13 in.
Matches shell diameter, not rim or hoop measurement. Measure the shell itself before ordering.
Detail 04
Snare-side gauge
Much thinner than a batter head, which is what lets the wires react to the drum at all.
Detail 05
Single head
One head per package. A full snare rehead needs a batter head as well.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell diameter, not the outer hoop — 13 vs 14 is easy to confuse
- 02No batter head, hoop, wires or drum key included
- 03Snare-side heads tune high and tear easily if struck from above
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as a top head?
No. This is a snare-side resonant head and is far too thin to take stick contact. It will split quickly. Use a batter head on top.
02Will this fit my 13-inch snare?
Yes, if the shell measures 13 inches. Measure across the shell rather than the rim, since hoop diameter runs larger.
03Does it come with snare wires?
No. Just the head. Wires, batter head and drum key are separate.
04Is a clear snare-side head brighter than coated?
Clear leaves the film undamped, so snare response stays open and crisp. Coated snare-side heads are uncommon for this reason.
