Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a worn head on a 13-inch snare or auxiliary snare
  • Hard hitters who wear a hole in the center first
  • Drummers wanting a drier, more focused backbeat

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone with a 14-inch snare — the standard size, and this is not it
  • Players wanting maximum ghost-note sensitivity and open ring
  • Drummers looking for a resonant snare-side head

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

Reverse dot

Dot sits underneath, so your sticks meet plain coated film. Center gets reinforced without changing the playing surface.

Detail 02

Controlled Sound

The dot damps center overtones. Attack stays focused and the head rings less than a plain single-ply.

Detail 03

Coated finish

Textured top for brushes, and a slightly warmer stick sound than clear film.

Detail 04

13 in.

Fits a 13-inch shell only. Head size means shell diameter, not the hoop or the old head's fit.

Detail 05

Batter head

Top side. The thin snare-side head underneath is separate and controls sensitivity and buzz.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your shell diameter — a 14-inch snare needs a different head
  2. 02Snare-side head not included; that one wears differently
  3. 03Detune, seat the new head, then tune up evenly in small increments

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01What does reverse dot actually mean?

The reinforcing dot is bonded to the underside instead of the top. You get the durability and center focus without a raised dot under your sticks.

02Will this fit a 14-inch snare?

No. Head size matches shell diameter, so a 13-inch head will not seat on a 14-inch drum.

03Is it good for rimshots and hard playing?

Yes. The center dot is there specifically to survive repeated hits in the same spot.

04Can I use brushes on it?

Yes. The coating gives brushes the texture they need, though the dot slightly reduces ring compared to a plain coated head.
