Sela Snare HeadYour individual sound

Snare Head SE 007 for Varios, Bausätze, CaSela, CaSela Pro

Snare Head Wave SE 017for Wave, Wave Pro

After years of research we have managed to make the Sela Snare Head better, with an even more differentiated snare and bass separation now.

Thanks to the Sela Snare System, it is possible to insert a second Sela Snare Head. Through that you get a lot of snare. This is especially popular among flamenco players, for latin grooves and for musicians who generally prefer a “crispy”, assertive sound.

With the small piece of foam that is inserted into the hole of the Snare Head the sound of the snare effect can be modified. The more you you pull out the foam, the more snare effect you will get. If you push the foam further inside, the snare effect is dampened and quieter.
