Detail 01
Snare side, not batter
This is the thin bottom head the wires sit against. Sticks never touch it; it shapes buzz and sensitivity.

RemoFalams XT Crimped Snare Side Drum Head Smooth White 13"
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 13-inch snare side head for the bottom of a 13" snare. For players replacing a dented or dead resonant head, or tightening up snare response.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing the bottom head on a 13-inch snare drum
- Restoring crisp snare buzz that has gone dull or choked
- Marching and piccolo-style setups running 13-inch shells
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a batter head — this goes on the bottom
- 14-inch snares; the diameter will not seat
- Players wanting a darker, drier snare sound
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
13-inch size
Matches the drum's stated diameter, not the rim. A 13" snare takes a 13" head, top and bottom.
Detail 03
Smooth white surface
Frosted-looking finish under the wires. Cosmetic on the bottom head — you see it only when the drum is lifted.
Detail 04
Crimped collar
Standard aluminum hoop construction, so it drops into any conventional 13" snare hoop and lug setup.
Detail 05
Around $64
Priced above a basic resonant head, so it's a considered replacement rather than a routine consumable swap.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell, not the rim — 13" means shell diameter
- 02Snare wires and drum key are not included
- 03Resonant heads tear easily during install; seat evenly, tension gradually
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as a batter head?
No. Snare side heads are thin and made to vibrate under the wires. Striking one directly will puncture it quickly.
02How tight should a snare side head be?
Tighter than the batter, generally. Higher tension gives faster, crisper wire response; too loose and the drum sounds choked.
03Will this fit a 13-inch piccolo snare?
Yes. Depth doesn't matter for head fit — only diameter. Any 13-inch shell takes this head.
04How often should I replace the bottom head?
When it dents, wrinkles, or the snare response goes dull. Bottom heads outlast batters but lose sensitivity as they age.
