Strong match

Who this is for

  • Toms that ring too long and need taming without tape
  • Drummers who play brushes and want a coated surface
  • Studio work where a controlled, focused tom note helps

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players chasing long open sustain and lots of overtone
  • Anyone needing a resonant head; this is a batter head
  • Heavy hitters wanting two-ply durability under a hard stick

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.

Remo Powerstroke 3 Coated Batter Head 13 in. construction detail

Detail 01

Powerstroke 3

An underlay ring around the outer edge damps the head where overtones start, so you get focus without muffling the center.

Detail 02

Coated

Warmer and drier than clear film, with a surface that brushes can actually grab.

Detail 03

Batter head

Goes on the side you hit. The bottom resonant head is a separate purchase and different build.

Detail 04

13 in.

Shell diameter, not depth. Fits a 13-inch tom or a 13-inch snare batter side.

Detail 05

Single-ply with edge control

Keeps single-ply sensitivity and stick response, but the edge ring does the work tape or gel pads usually do.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01One head. No drum, hoop, tension rods, or muffling accessories included.
  2. 02Measure your shell diameter; 13 inch heads do not fit 12 or 14 inch drums.
  3. 03Clean the bearing edge and hoop before seating it for even tuning.

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 a batter head on a 13-inch snare. The edge muffling tightens the sound and reduces ring, which suits piccolo and side snares.

02Do I still need moongel or tape?

Usually not. The built-in edge ring handles most of the ring, so start without added muffling and only add more if needed.

03Coated or clear for toms?

Coated is warmer and drier with a shorter decay, and it works with brushes. Clear is brighter with more attack and sustain.

04Does this go on the top or bottom?

The top, the side you strike. It is a batter head. Use a dedicated resonant head on the bottom.
