Detail 01

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Coated 14-inch Mylar snare batter head made in the USA. Bright and defined with moderate sustain, built to take hard hitting.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Gigging drummers who go through snare heads fast
- Rock or punk players wanting crack over warmth
- Brush work — the coating gives a usable swirl surface
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers chasing a dark, fat, low-tuned snare voice
- Players who want maximum ring and long sustain
- Anyone with a 13 or 12-inch snare — this is 14-inch only
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
High durability
Built to survive rimshots and heavy backbeats. Expect longer life than a thin single-ply head.
Detail 03
Bright tone, defined attack
Stick definition sits forward in the mix. Cuts through loud guitars without needing heavy compression.
Detail 04
Moderate sustain
Some ring remains after the hit. Not a dead head — you can tune it open or tape it down.
Detail 05
Moderate feel
Stick rebound sits between a soft single-ply and a stiff two-ply. Comfortable for both fast rolls and hard hits.
Detail 06
14 in.
Fits any 14-inch snare shell, the standard size on most kits. Depth of the drum does not matter.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head, batter side only — your snare-side bottom head is separate
- 02No muffling rings or gels included
- 03Coated surfaces wear off over time where the stick lands
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a batter or snare-side head?
Batter. It goes on the top of the snare where you strike. The thin bottom snare-side head is a different product.
02Can I use brushes on it?
Yes. The coated surface is what makes brush sweeps audible. A clear head would give you almost nothing.
03Will it work on a piccolo snare?
Yes, if the shell is 14 inches across. Shell depth does not affect head fit.
04How do I get rid of the ring?
Tune the bottom head slightly higher than the top, or add a small gel near the edge. The coating holds gels well.
