RemoControlled Sound Black Dot Batter Head - 14 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
14-inch batter head with a center reinforcement dot. Built for players who hit hard and want attack with controlled overtones.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock and heavy hitters who dent standard single-ply heads
- Snare drums needing focused attack and less ring
- Rack toms in loud settings where overtones muddy the mix
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz players wanting open, sensitive, resonant response
- Light players who want maximum tonal openness
- Anyone needing a resonant or snare-side 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
Controlled Sound design
Shorter sustain and tighter tone than an open single-ply head. Less need for tape or moongel.
Detail 03
14 in. size
Fits 14-inch snares and toms. Measure the shell diameter, not the hoop or the old head.
Detail 04
Batter head
Top side only. Snare-side and resonant heads are much thinner and sold separately.
Detail 05
Dot placement
Stick-tip contact on the dot sounds different from rimshots or edge playing, so brush work loses some texture.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Resonant or snare-side head is not included
- 02Detune, seat the head, then tune in a star pattern
- 03Dot reduces brush and ghost-note sensitivity compared to plain coated heads
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Snare or tom head?
It works for both. On snare it tightens attack and controls ring; on a 14-inch rack or floor tom it shortens sustain.
02Top or bottom?
Top. This is a batter head meant to be struck. Snare-side heads are far thinner and sold separately.
03Will the dot come off?
It's bonded to the head film, not a sticker. Heavy playing wears the head overall before the dot separates.
04Does it work with brushes?
The dot area is smoother than the surrounding surface, so brush sweeps are less consistent. A plain coated head suits brush work better.
