Detail 01
Snare side head
Goes on the bottom, under the wires. Thin, so it reacts to the wires and carries most of the snare crack.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Clear 14-inch bottom head for a marching snare. Replacement part for players already running a marching snare drum, not a batter head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Refreshing snare response on a marching snare that sounds dead
- Drum line techs keeping spare bottom heads on hand
- Rebuilding a used marching snare from the shell up
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Kit drummers — this is sized and built for marching snares
- Anyone needing a batter head; this goes on the bottom
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
Open and bright compared to a coated head. Snare wires speak more freely and articulation stays defined.
Detail 03
14 inch
Matches a 14-inch marching snare shell. Measure your bearing edge diameter, not the rim, before ordering.
Detail 04
Hybrid line
Built for marching tension, which runs far higher than a kit snare. Holds pitch under that load.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only — no snare wires, hoops, or tension rods included
- 02Bottom heads tear at the collar under marching tension; keep a spare
- 03Detension evenly and seat the head before tuning up to pitch
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 sits under the snare wires. The batter head you strike is a separate, thicker head.
02Will this fit my drum kit snare?
It fits any 14-inch snare bearing edge, but it's built for marching tensions. On a kit snare it will work; it's just tuned much tighter than needed.
03How often should I replace a snare side head?
When it dents at the wire contact points, loses pitch stability, or the response goes muddy. Marching heads go faster than kit heads.
04Do I need special tools?
A drum key. Nothing else. Loosen in a star pattern, remove the hoop, swap, retension in the same pattern.
