Snare Drum Heads

You don't have to be the world's greatest drummer to know how important the snare drum is to a bands overall sound. Simply put, it's the driving-force of your backbeat, and to ensure that it's full of punch and sounds flawless, you need a snare drum head that's durable and exploding with exceptional response.

So what are you looking for in a snare sound? It's an important question to ask yourself before choosing a snare drum head. After all, different types of snare heads will provide you with their own specific characteristics. For example, single-ply clear heads have more resonance than double-ply heads. They're also thinner and provide more articulation, making them ideal for lighter players. However, double-ply heads are a lot more durable, which is why they're so preferred by heavy-metal and punk drummers. Of course, one style is not better than the other. We all have our own personal preferences, and this catalog has more than enough options to satisfy your snare drum head cravings.
