Remo 14" Ambassador Coated Set Reviews

The most standard combination

Bottom tighter, you get standard sound, much better compared to the Evans G1 and hazy 300 that came default on my Tama snare

Just classic

the pack gives you exactly what it promises. aSad to see the prices keep going up though.

Remo For The Win

Remo or Evans, there's a big split between users.

It all boils down to personal preference.

Me, I'm a Remo fan.

These just ooze quality and have the distinctive Remo tone and feel.

Remo 14" Ambassador Coated Set

The classics for a reason, nice warm open tone with lot's of possibilities!

The Best!

The best head for an honest representation of the drums sound qualities

Good general head

This is a good combination of heads to get if you want to change both heads on your snare. My experience is that this Ambassador batter head is very realisticly giving back the sound your snaredrum is capable of making. This is best on mid-high level snare drums, not so much on the low end unfortunately.

Excellent

Exactly what they say on the tin. Very versatile and will suit all genres. Can always expect quality from Remo

Super

Our drummer is happy!

Classic snare sound

I'm using these heads on my Mapex mars 6.5 snare drum, and I'm very happy with it.

They sound great and are easy to tune, with a very defined attack and a decent amount of sustain, just the sound I was looking for.

Pros:

Classic snare sound

Easy to tune

Good quality

Bang for the buck

Cons:

The batter head doesn't last as long as some other brands

Nice

Great quality and very nice sound

Good for starters

If you need fresh heads and never tried those, go ahead!

If you're looking for a specific sound, maybe dig a little more.

I had those on a snare and wanted a tighter sound, but as they were old, I thought buying new ones would get me a tight sound again.

Now I think I should have bought thicker heads (probably Black Suedes on both sides, though those are really thick!)

Industry standard - confirmed!

I use this set to upgrade my Ludwig Supralite 08x14`` snare drum and it is made very big improvement to the sound of this snare drum!

High quality drum heads

I use these on my mapex saturn snare and they bring out all that there is good about the snare - the sound is punchy, clear and stick definition is great too.

The quality is great too as they last for quite a while before they start losing their sound or break.

Love these drum heads and will buy them again.

Great set for snare!

My friend recommended I use this as my resonant head for a better sounding bass drum in the jazz idiom, so this is generally what I use it for. It sounds best to me when tuned high and tight. Deciding which head to purchase solely depends on what kind of sound you want. If you want a "fat" low pitched sound for instance,a pinstripe ebony works well. But if you want a bright "punchy" sound, then this head will suffice. The standard batter head is the powerstroke 3 (which is a good head to start with); but once you've developed an ear for it, i supposed you can begin to deviate from that as well.

Remo Ambassador snare set.

I always use Remo Ambassador on my snare drums. Their sound is very clean and clear. It is very nice to be able to buy the complete set in one package. Changing both heads keeps my snare drums sounding perfect.

The batter drum head of this set is the quintessential snare drum head for a reason. It can take the hard hit of a blast beat and respond to the soft touch of brushes. I play in a rock pop band, but I have also used this snare head for projects in other genres such as funk, grunge, punk and hard rock, and the sound I get from this snare head every time is the one I need. I kill unwanted overtones with some gaffer tape, which leaves no glue residue (gel pads being of course another dampening option).

The resonant head responds very well to the snares and resists high tuning. Don't crank it up too much, though: you want it responsive, not cracked.

Overall, a great set of drum heads that works for most situations.
