Description

The Chord DHC-14 is a replacement drum head with a coated surface, made to fit 14in drums. Coated heads are a common choice for snare drums and toms, giving a slightly warmer, more controlled sound than a clear head. The coating adds a touch of texture to the playing surface, which some drummers prefer when using brushes.

This head works as a batter head, meaning it sits on the top of the drum where you strike it. Whether you are replacing a worn-out head or changing the tone of your kit, a fresh drum head (also called a drumhead or skin) makes a noticeable difference to how the drum responds and sounds. Coated surfaces tend to soften attack and shorten sustain a little, which helps tame overly ringy drums.

At 14in, this size suits most standard snare drums as well as some rack toms, so it is worth checking your existing head before ordering. Fitting is straightforward: remove the old head, seat the new one over the shell, and tune it up evenly around the rim. We supply the DHC-14 as a single head, so you can buy the exact size and quantity you need for your setup.

Frequently Asked

What is a coated drum head best for?

Coated heads suit snare drums and toms where you want a warmer, more controlled tone with slightly less sustain than a clear head. They also work well with brushes thanks to the textured surface.

Is the DHC-14 a batter or resonant head?

It is designed as a batter head, which is the top head you strike. It is not intended as a resonant (bottom) head.

Will this fit my drum?

It fits 14in drums, which covers most standard snare drums and some rack toms. Measure the diameter of your existing head or shell before ordering to be sure.

How do I fit a new drum head?

Remove the old head and hoop, seat the new head over the shell, replace the hoop and tension rods, then tune evenly around the rim until you reach the pitch you want.

Is the head sold singly?

Yes, the DHC-14 is supplied as a single 14in head.
