RemoPowerstroke 3 Clear with Dot Batter 14 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
14-inch clear batter head with a center dot. Two-ply feel at the impact point, focused attack, controlled ring. Standard workhorse snare head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Snare players who hit hard and wear out center of heads
- Rock and live playing where ring needs controlling
- Anyone wanting attack without taping the head down
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting maximum sensitivity for quiet brush work
- Anyone after an open, ringing, wide-open snare sound
- 13-inch or 12-inch snares — wrong diameter
What matters in use
The specifications, translated

Detail 02
Powerstroke 3 underlay ring
Thin ring near the edge damps overtones automatically. Less need for moongel or tape.
Detail 03
Clear film
Brighter and more cutting than coated. Note that brushes will not work on a clear head.
Detail 04
14 in.
The most common snare size. Only fits a 14-inch drum, not 13 or 12.
Detail 05
Batter head
Playing side only. The thin bottom snare-side head is separate and much thinner.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your snare is 14 inches — measure the shell, not the old head
- 02Snare-side bottom head is not included
- 03Clear surface will not take brushes; get a coated head if you use them
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use brushes on this head?
No. Brushes need a coated surface to grab. A clear head gives no texture, so brushes slide silently. Use a coated head instead.
02What does the dot actually do?
It adds a layer of film in the center strike zone. That resists denting from hard hits and tightens the attack, with slightly less response to soft playing.
03Do I need extra muffling with this?
Usually not. The underlay ring at the edge already damps overtones, which is the main reason players reach for tape or gel.
04Will this fit a 13-inch snare?
No. Head size matches shell diameter, so a 14-inch head only fits a 14-inch snare.
