RemoCoated Control Sound with Reverse Dot 14 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
14-inch coated snare batter with a center dot on the underside. For players who want brush-friendly coating plus focused attack and shorter ring.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Backbeat rock and pop where snare ring needs taming
- Drummers who use brushes and still hit hard
- Snares that ring too long no matter how you tune them
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a wide-open, long-sustaining snare voice
- Anyone needing a snare-side or resonant head
- Light jazz work chasing maximum sensitivity across the whole head
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
Coated
Textured surface. Brushes catch properly, stick attack softens, and overtones sit lower than clear film.
Detail 03
Controlled Sound
Added mass at the center shortens sustain and reinforces rimshot attack without deadening the edge.
Detail 04
Single ply with dot
Open and responsive near the edge, tougher and tighter in the middle where you actually hit.
Detail 05
14 in.
Standard snare size. Measure the shell diameter, not across the hoop, before ordering.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only; reuse your existing hoop and tension rods
- 02Install printed side up — the dot faces down toward the shell
- 03Coating wears and lightens over time, especially under brush work
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which way does the dot face?
Down, against the shell. That is what reverse dot means — the top surface stays plain coated for brushes.
02Can I play brushes on this?
Yes. The coating is uninterrupted across the top, so sweeps sound even from center to edge.
03Does the dot make the drum quieter?
No. It shortens sustain and focuses the center attack. Volume stays the same, the ring drops.
04Will it work on a 14-inch tom?
It fits, but the dot cuts sustain. Most players want more ring and length from a floor tom.
