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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.20KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15mm x 370mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrum size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a coated drum head best for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoated heads suit snare drums and toms where you want a warmer, more controlled tone with slightly less sustain than a clear head.
