RemoPowerstroke 3 Clear Batter Drum Head 14 in.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 14-inch clear batter head with a built-in muffling ring. For drummers who want controlled attack and less ring without taping the head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Snare or tom that rings too long in a dead room
- Drummers who hate taping gels onto heads
- Live rock and pop where a focused attack cuts better
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz players wanting open, sustaining tone
- Anyone needing a resonant bottom head — this is a batter
- Drums that are not 14 inches
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
Clear film
More attack and brightness than a coated head. Brushes will not respond well on a clear surface.
Detail 03
Powerstroke 3 muffling ring
An underside ring at the edge kills overtones and shortens sustain without deadening the center.
Detail 04
14 in.
Head size matches the drum's shell diameter, not the hoop. Measure the shell before ordering.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only. No drum key, hoop, or tuning tools included
- 02You will need to re-tune fully; a new head stretches for a few sessions
- 03Sold as a single head, not a pack
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on a snare drum?
Yes, as the top batter head on a 14-inch snare. The muffling ring tames ring, which suits recording and loud stages. The snare-side bottom head is a separate, much thinner head.
02Does 14 inch mean the hoop or the shell?
The shell. Measure the drum's shell diameter from inside edge to inside edge, not across the rim.
03Will brushes work on this?
Not well. The film is clear and smooth, so brushes slide instead of catching. A coated head is the one you want for brush work.
04Do I still need moongel or tape?
Usually not. The built-in ring handles most of the unwanted overtones, which is the reason to pick this head over a plain single-ply.
