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
Batter head
The top, stick-side head. You still need a separate thin snare-side head for the bottom.
Detail 03
14 inch
Standard snare diameter. Measure your shell, not the hoop, before ordering.
Detail 04
$25.95
Standard replacement-head pricing. A routine wear item, not a long-term investment.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is this different from a clear head?
The opaque black film damps some upper overtones, so the drum sounds a little darker and more controlled than a clear head of the same type.
02Does black wear off where the sticks hit?
Stick marks will show on any coated or colored head over time. It's cosmetic and doesn't change how the head plays.
03Will this fit a 14" tom?
Yes. Head size follows shell diameter, so a 14" tom takes the same head. It'll sound darker than a standard clear tom head.
04Do I need to change the bottom head too?
Not necessarily. Snare-side heads last longer since sticks don't touch them. Replace it when it's dented, torn, or the wire response goes dull.
