Detail 01
Reverse dot
The reinforcing dot sits underneath, so the top stays smooth coated film. Brushes sweep cleanly and the dot still absorbs stick wear.

RemoRemo Controlled Sound Reverse Dot Coated Snare Drum Head 15 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 15-inch coated snare batter with a reverse dot. Extra durability and center focus while the playing surface stays fully coated for brushes.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 15-inch snares on older kits or marching setups
- Hard hitters who wear through the head's center first
- Players who want brush response and dot durability together
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Standard 14-inch snares, which this will not fit
- Drummers wanting maximum open ring and wide overtones
- Anyone needing a snare-side bottom head; this is a batter
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
Controlled Sound
The center dot damps overtones and tightens the note. Rimshots and backbeats come out more focused, with less ring.
Detail 03
Coated
Warmer and drier than clear film, and the texture is what makes brush playing possible at all.
Detail 04
15 in.
Shell diameter. A 15-inch snare is deeper and lower pitched than the common 14, and needs its own head size.
Detail 05
Batter head
Strike side only. The thin snare-side head on the bottom is a separate, much thinner product.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only. No snare drum, hoop, wires, or tension rods included.
- 02Confirm your shell is 15 inches; a 14-inch head will not stretch to fit.
- 03The dot faces down against the shell when you mount it.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which way does the dot go?
Facing down, toward the inside of the drum. That is what makes it a reverse dot and leaves the coated surface exposed for brushes.
02Will this fit a 14-inch snare?
No. Drum heads are sized to the shell diameter with no room to spare. You need a 15-inch shell.
03Does the dot kill the sensitivity?
It tightens the center and reduces overtones, so ghost notes read a little drier. The area outside the dot stays responsive.
04Can I play brushes on it?
Yes. Because the dot is on the underside, the whole playing surface is coated and textured for brush work.
