Detail 01
14 in.
Head size matches the drum's shell diameter, not the rim. A 14 in. snare takes this; a 13 in. does not.

RemoRenaissance Emperor Snare Batter 14 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 14-inch batter head for a snare drum, from Remo's Renaissance line. Straightforward replacement for a worn or dented top head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a dented or stretched snare batter head
- Drummers with a standard 14 in. snare
- Keeping a spare head in the stick bag
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers needing a resonant (bottom) snare head
- Anyone with a 13 in. or piccolo snare
- Players wanting a coated white-look 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 02
Batter head
This is the top head you strike. The bottom snare-side head is a separate, much thinner part.
Detail 03
Renaissance series
A translucent film rather than a plain clear or coated head, so the drum reads brighter than a standard coated top.
Detail 04
Emperor weight
Remo's heavier batter tier. More durability under hard hitting than their thinner single-ply heads.
Detail 05
Under $40
Standard replacement-head money. Heads are consumables, so budget for one or two a year if you play often.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only. No hoop, tension rods, or snare wires included
- 02Measure your shell diameter, not the rim, before ordering
- 03Expect a tuning session and re-seating after the first hour of play
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my 14 inch snare?
Yes, if the shell measures 14 in. across. Drum head sizes refer to the shell diameter, so any standard 14 in. snare takes this head.
02Is this the top or bottom head?
Top. It's a batter head, the one you strike. The bottom snare-side head is thinner and sold separately.
03Can I use it on a tom?
Yes, on a 14 in. tom or floor tom. It's a heavier batter head, so it holds up to hard playing on either drum.
04Do I need special tools to install it?
A drum key to loosen and retension the rods. That's it. Nothing else is required.
