Detail 01
Coated finish
The textured surface gives brushes something to grab and warms the attack slightly compared to a clear head.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Coated Mylar snare batter head made in the USA. For drummers who want a defined attack with controlled sustain across rock, country and jazz.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Snare drum players who use brushes and need a coated surface
- Gigging drummers replacing a batter head that's lost its tone
- Players wanting defined stick attack without long ringing sustain
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers wanting maximum open ring and long sustain
- Anyone needing a clear head for a bright, cutting rimshot sound
- Players whose snare isn't the size this head fits
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
Defined attack, moderate sustain
The stick strike reads clearly and the ring dies back on its own. Less need for tape or a dampening ring.
Detail 03
Mylar
Standard drumhead film. Consistent response and tuning stability, and it won't shift with humidity the way skin does.
Detail 04
High durability
Holds up to rimshots and hard backbeats longer than a thin single-ply, so fewer replacements in a heavy gig schedule.
Detail 05
Bright tone
Sits toward the crisp end of the range. Cuts through a loud band mix rather than sitting under it.
Detail 06
Made in USA
Consistent film thickness and hoop seating batch to batch, so replacements behave like the one before.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your snare's actual diameter — the title and spec listing differ on size
- 02Batter head only; you'll need a separate snare-side head for the bottom
- 03A drum key is required, and a fresh head needs re-tuning after it settles
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a batter head or a snare-side head?
It's a batter head — the top head you strike. Snare-side heads are much thinner and sold separately.
02Can I use brushes on it?
Yes. The coating is what brushes need to produce a sweep sound. A clear head gives you almost nothing under brushes.
03Will it work for metal and punk as well as jazz?
It's built for a range including rock, punk and metal alongside jazz and R&B. The defined attack and high durability suit hard hitting.
04Do I need to muffle it?
Sustain is moderate rather than open, so many players run it untreated. Add a small dampener only if your room is especially live.
