Detail 01

Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single-ply coated 14-inch batter head for snare drums. Basic replacement head for a student kit or a spare in the stick bag.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn snare batter on a beginner or practice kit
- Brush work, where the coating gives the texture brushes need
- Keeping a cheap spare head in the gig bag
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Heavy hitters who crack single-ply heads in weeks
- Players wanting deep, dark tone from a thicker two-ply head
- Anyone needing a resonant snare-side head — this is a batter 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
Single ply
One layer of film. More open, more overtones, more stick response — but less dent resistance than two-ply.
Detail 03
14 in.
Fits a 14-inch drum. Head size matches the drum's diameter, not the rim or hoop size.
Detail 04
Snare batter head
Goes on the top, playing side. The thin snare-side head underneath is a separate part.
Detail 05
Under $20
Cheap enough to change often. Many players replace a snare batter every few months at this price.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your drum shell diameter, not the hoop — a 14-inch drum takes a 14-inch head.
- 02One head only. No snare-side head, no tuning key, no hardware included.
- 03You'll need a drum key to detension the old head and seat the new one.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the top or bottom snare head?
Top. It's a batter head — the one you hit. The snare-side head on the bottom is a much thinner, separate head you buy on its own.
02Can I use it on a tom?
Yes, on a 14-inch tom. Coated single-ply on a floor tom gives a warmer, drier sound than a clear head.
03Why coated instead of clear?
The coating takes off some high end for a warmer tone, and gives brushes a surface to drag across. Clear heads are brighter and more open.
04Do I need a drum key?
Yes. You need one to loosen the old head's tension rods and tune the new one evenly. Not included.
