Crimped hoop
The head comes locked into its own hoop for marching snares. It won't seat on a standard drum's counterhoop.

Strong match
Who this is for
- Marching snare players replacing the head they strike
- Drumlines wanting a uniform white top across the section
- Corps and band snares tuned to high tension
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Kit snares — the crimped hoop won't fit standard drums
- Players wanting a coated head for brush work
- Anyone needing a 13-inch resonant or 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 02
Smooth white film
White but not textured. Sticks glide instead of catching, so brushes get no rasp off it.
Detail 03
Built for marching tension
Marching snares are cranked far tighter than kit snares. This head is made to sit at that tension without deforming.
Detail 04
13 in. diameter
A common marching snare size. Measure the shell — 13 and 14 inch heads are not interchangeable.
Detail 05
Batter head
This is the top head you play. The thin snare-side head underneath is a separate purchase.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only — no snare wires, tension rods, or drum key included
- 02Check your snare uses crimped heads, not standard hoops
- 03Bring it up to tension gradually and evenly in stages
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on my drum kit snare?
No. The crimped hoop is specific to marching snares. A kit snare needs a standard head that seats under its own hoop.
02Is this the top or bottom head?
Top. It's the batter side you strike. The snare-side head is thinner and sold separately.
03Will brushes work on it?
Not well. The film is smooth rather than coated, so brushes slide without producing the usual sweep sound.
04What size drum does it fit?
A 13-inch marching snare. Measure the shell diameter, not the old head or hoop, before ordering.
