Detail 01
Snare side
Sits under the drum against the wires. Very thin film so the wires react quickly and stay sensitive.

RemoDiplomat Snare Side Head - 13 in.
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
13-inch snare-side head for the bottom of a 13" snare. Thin resonant film that carries the wire response. Replacement part, not a batter head.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a dented or wrinkled bottom head on a 13" snare
- Piccolo and auxiliary snares in the 13-inch size
- Keeping a spare on hand for gigs and rehearsals
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a batter head — this goes on the bottom only
- Snares of any diameter other than 13 inches
- Players wanting a thick, durable film they can strike
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
Diplomat weight
The thinnest of Remo's weights. More open and responsive, and easier to tear if handled roughly.
Detail 03
13 in.
This is the drum's shell diameter, not the hoop measurement. A 13" snare takes a 13" head.
Detail 04
Single ply
One layer of film. Brighter and more sensitive than a two-ply head, with shorter service life.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell diameter, not the rim, before ordering
- 02Head only — no snare wires, hoops, or tension rods
- 03Snare-side film tears easily; seat it without striking it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as a batter head?
No. Snare-side film is far too thin to be struck. Use a batter head on top and keep this on the bottom.
02Will it fit a 14-inch snare?
No. It fits 13-inch snare drums only. Head diameter has to match the shell diameter.
03How do I know when to replace my snare-side head?
Replace it when you see dents, creases, or a tear near the wire contact area, or when the snare response goes dull and choked.
04Do I need to buy new snare wires too?
Not necessarily. Wires last longer than the head. Replace them only if strands are broken or bent out of alignment.
