Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bubinga snare, 14 x 6 in. A dense hardwood drum with strong attack, aimed at players wanting cut in loud settings.
Strong match

- Cutting through loud guitars in rock or metal
- Players who want a hard, focused backbeat
- Adding a bright, dry snare to a kit of softer-wood drums
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players after a warm, round maple voice
- Quiet jazz or brush work where a thinner drum sits better
- Anyone needing a deeper 7 in. or piccolo-shallow sound
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
14 x 6 in.
Half an inch deeper than the common 5.5 in. Adds body and a touch more low end without going boomy.
Detail 03
14 in. head diameter
Standard size, so any 14 in. batter and snare-side head fits. Replacements are easy to find.
Detail 04
Dense shell material
Heavier drum than a comparable maple snare. It puts more weight on a snare stand or a light rack.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No snare stand included
- 02Dense shells sound thin at low tunings — start medium and tune up
- 03Stock heads ship on it; a fresh batter head changes the voice considerably
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How does bubinga compare to maple?
Bubinga is denser. You get more attack, tighter lows and a brighter crack; maple is warmer with fuller mids and more sustain.
02Is 6 in. deep enough for rock?
Yes. Six inches gives noticeably more body than a 5.5 in. drum while staying quick, which suits most rock backbeats.
03What head size do I need?
14 in. batter on top and 14 in. snare-side on the bottom. Both are standard sizes.
04Does it come with a stand?
No. The snare ships as a drum only — you'll need a snare stand and a throne setup already in place.
