The Hi-Performance Snare Head is an ultra-responsive (3mil) single-ply snare-side drumhead with a twist: the HPSN has reinforced strips of a proprietary power-weave material where the snare wire ends rest on the head. This extra protection helps to prevent tears due to punctures from broken snare wires. The Patented Aquarian Safe-T-Lok hoop and Sound Collar design makes for easy tune-ups and helps improve the sound and performance of any snare drum.
