Detail 01
Clear film
No coating means brighter attack and more sustain than a coated head. Brushes will not grab it.

Independent shopping perspective
A 14-inch clear batter head for a snare drum. For drummers who want attack and cut rather than a warm, dry sound.

What matters in use
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
No coating means brighter attack and more sustain than a coated head. Brushes will not grab it.
Detail 02
This is the top head you strike. The thin snare-side head underneath is a separate purchase.
Detail 03
Matches a 14-inch snare shell, the most common size. Measure the shell, not the rim.
Detail 04
Built for controlled attack with less uncontrolled overtone, so it needs less tape or gel to tame.
Detail 05
One batter head. Rebuilding a whole snare means adding a snare-side head separately.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Top. It is a batter head, made for the side you strike. The bottom snare-side head is much thinner and sold separately.
Physically a 14-inch head fits a 14-inch tom. It is designed as a snare batter, so expect a focused, controlled sound rather than an open tom note.
Usually less than with a plain single-ply clear head. It is built to control overtones on its own. Start with none and add only if needed.
No. Brushes need a coated surface to produce a sweep sound. On a clear head they are nearly silent.
