Detail 01
Hybrid weave construction
Woven fibers instead of plain film. Far more durable and stiffer under high tension than a standard plastic head.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 13-inch coated Evans Hybrid snare batter. Built for marching and hard-hitting playing where a standard head would dent through quickly.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Marching snare players needing a head that survives a season
- Hard hitters who dent through single-ply heads
- Anyone wanting high tension without the head caving
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Light jazz or brush players wanting an open, forgiving head
- Toms — this is a snare batter
- Drummers on a budget replacing heads often
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
Coated
Textured surface, so brushes work and the attack is less glassy than a bare weave would be.
Detail 03
13 in. snare size
Marching and piccolo snare territory. A standard kit snare is usually 14 inch and will not take this.
Detail 04
Batter head
Strike side only. The snare-side head underneath is a separate, much thinner part.
Detail 05
$69 for one head
Roughly triple a basic tom head. The tradeoff is a head that holds tuning under sustained hard playing.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your snare is 13 inch, not 14 — sizes do not stretch to fit
- 02Drum key required and not included
- 03Snare-side head sold separately; this is the top only
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a 14-inch snare?
No. Head sizes are exact. A 13-inch head will not seat on a 14-inch shell.
02Is this for marching or drum kit?
It is built for marching-level durability and high tension. It works on a 13-inch kit snare too, but it will sound tight and controlled.
03Why does it cost more than a normal head?
The woven construction resists denting and holds tension far longer than single-ply film. You replace it less often.
04Can I use brushes on it?
Yes. The coating gives brushes a surface to catch, though a weave head is stiffer than a standard coated head.
