Refresh your snare sound with Snare Drum Heads at Andertons Music Co. Your choice of drumhead can make a significant difference to the attack, sensitivity, sustain and overall character of your snare drum. Whether you're replacing a worn head or experimenting with a new sound, you'll find options designed for everything from sensitive, open responses to powerful and controlled backbeats.

Batter & Snare Side Drum Heads

A snare drum typically uses a batter head on the top and a dedicated snare-side head underneath. Batter heads are designed to withstand repeated stick impacts while helping shape the attack, tone and playing feel of the drum. Snare-side heads are generally much thinner and are designed to respond sensitively to the snare wires, making the combination of your top and bottom heads an important part of the overall snare sound.

Clear, Coated & Multi-Ply Snare Heads

Construction and finish can further influence the response of your snare drum head. Single-ply designs can provide an open and responsive character, while multi-ply heads generally offer additional durability and greater control. Coated heads are particularly popular for snare drums and provide a distinctive playing surface and tonal response, while heads with built-in dampening can help reduce unwanted overtones and create a more focused sound.
