Detail 01
Coated surface
Warmer attack than clear film and the texture brushes need. Also darkens the tone slightly compared to an uncoated head.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Coated 14-inch Powerstroke X snare head with built-in damping — a durable, controlled batter for rock, pop and general gigging.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Loud playing where an open head rings too long
- Drummers who want brush texture from a coated surface
- Replacing a batter head that has dented or lost tone
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Jazz players wanting maximum sensitivity and open ring
- Anyone needing a resonant or snare-side head
- Drums other than 14 inch
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
Powerstroke damping ring
An inlay ring at the edge kills unwanted overtones at the source, so you can skip tape, gels and moongel.
Detail 03
Batter head
This is the top head you strike. The thin snare-side head underneath is a separate purchase.
Detail 04
14 in. size
The most common snare diameter. Measure the shell itself, not the outside of the rim.
Detail 05
Built for hard hitting
The reinforced design takes rimshots and heavy backbeats better than a plain single-ply head.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Snare-side head, snare wires and tuning key are not included
- 02Measure your snare shell — 13 and 12 inch drums need a different head
- 03Expect to retune over the first few sessions as it settles
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a top or bottom head?
Top. It is the batter head you hit. The bottom snare-side head is much thinner and sold separately.
02Do I still need moongel with this?
Usually not. The damping ring already controls overtones. Add gel only if your specific drum still rings more than you want.
03Coated or clear for snare?
Coated gives a warmer attack and lets you play brushes. Clear is brighter with more crack. Most snare players choose coated.
04Will this fit a 14-inch tom?
Physically yes, but it is voiced as a snare batter — controlled and focused. Toms usually sound better with a head that sustains more.
