EvansHybrid Marching Snare Side Head Clear 13
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 13-inch clear resonant head for the bottom of a marching snare. For corps and school drumlines replacing a worn snare side.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Marching snare players rebuilding a drum for the season
- Drumlines standardizing on Evans Hybrid series heads
- Replacing a bottom head that has lost snare response
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers needing a batter head — this is the bottom head
- Standard kit snares, which use thinner concert-style snare side heads
- Anyone whose drum is not 13 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
13-inch size
Matches the standard marching snare diameter. Head size is drum size, not rim measurement.
Detail 03
Clear film
Open and bright compared to a coated head, which is what a snare side head is meant to do.
Detail 04
Hybrid series
Built as the resonant partner to Evans Hybrid marching batter heads, so tuning ranges pair predictably.
Detail 05
$37.99 for one head
Priced above kit snare side heads because marching resonant heads run under much higher tension.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only — no snare wires, no tuning key included
- 02Marching snare side heads sit at very high tension; seat and stretch before playing
- 03Measure the drum shell, not the hoop, to confirm 13 inches
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the top or bottom head?
Bottom. It is the snare side, or resonant, head that sits beneath the snare wires. The batter head you hit is a separate purchase.
02Will this fit my regular drum kit snare?
Only if that snare is 13 inches. Even then, it is built for marching tension and will feel and respond differently from a kit snare side head.
03How many heads come in the box?
One.
04Do I need a special tool to install it?
A drum key, which is not included. Tension the lugs gradually in a star pattern rather than tightening each one fully in turn.
