Strong match

Who this is for

  • Rimshot-heavy playing that wears out plain coated heads
  • Piccolo or 13 in. snares needing a focused crack
  • Live rock and pop where ring needs taming

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players wanting a wide-open, ringy jazz snare tone
  • Anyone with a 14 in. snare — this will not fit
  • Brush players who want an undotted coated surface

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 01

Powerstroke 3

An underside inlay ring at the edge damps overtones automatically, so you can skip tape and gels.

Detail 02

Centre dot

Extra material at the stick zone adds durability and tightens the attack, with slightly less sustain.

Detail 03

Coated

Textured surface warms the tone and gives brushes something to catch, unlike a clear head.

Detail 04

Single ply

More sensitive and responsive than a two-ply head, so ghost notes and light strokes still speak.

Detail 05

13 in.

Measured across the shell, not the rim. A 14 in. snare needs a different head.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Batter side only — the snare-side head is a separate purchase
  2. 02Measure your shell diameter; 13 in. and 14 in. are not interchangeable
  3. 03Expect to retune after fitting; a fresh head settles over the first sessions

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this fit my 14 in. snare?

No. This is a 13 in. head. Measure across the top of the shell, not the outside of the rim, and buy that size.

02What does the dot do?

It adds material where the stick lands. That means longer life under rimshots and a tighter, more focused attack with a little less ring.

03Do I still need moongel?

Generally no. The inlay ring and dot already control overtones, so extra damping often makes the drum sound dead.

04Can I use brushes on it?

Yes, the coating works with brushes, though the centre dot changes the texture in the middle of the head.
