14" Ambassador Coated : For a punchy and open sound

I own two snare drums - the Gretsch Renown Maple and the Ludwig LM402 Supra Phonic (metal snare) and the Remo Ambassador Coated head shines on them both. I mostly use the head for recording and it provides a very open sound with lots of treble and crack. In my opinion the Ambassador works best with medium to high tunings, for low tunings I prefer thicker heads as the Ambassador is relatively thin being a singleply head. In comparison to double-ply heads like the Remo Emperor, the Ambassador will wear out sooner so if you are dealing with very heavy hitting drummers you might need to change the Ambassadors more often than double-ply heads to maintain the pristine tone. However if the head is played without extra force it will preserve the tone for quite a long time. If you are looking for getting a punchy and trebly snare sound - the Remo Ambassador Coated is the drum head you need.
