Great look and feel

I love Remo drumheads, so I'm a little biased, but I love them because they never disappoint you.

Sustain is back

I wanted an open sound from my wooden snare (5 ? ,16 blocks of bubinga wood). More sustain, and smaller difference of sound, playing from center to out. I removed aquarian texture coated, (excellent heads I think that they will never break) and I placed ambassador x. Wow! I got exactly that, warm wooden sound in hi tension.

i like it

it takes off some of the overtones. if you put some moongel it gets real dead. a cheap alternative to powerstroke.. a bit different, but i like it a lot.

The reference snare

This Remo head is something we can't ignore, in the realm of snare drums. I believe it could sell with a better price, as they sell so much. The sound is good, but not perfect, depending on the snare shell, etc. Maybe they are the best with steel snare drums.

The classic open tone with more durability

I'm using the Remo Ambassador X on a 14'' Gretsch Renown Maple snare and the results are very good - especially on a medium to high tuning. The sound is very punchy and open with lots of crack, and the extra thickness in comparison to the standard Ambassador makes this drum head more durable and also darkens the tone slightly. I use the drum head for recording, it can withstand a good beating from heavy hitting drummers and maintain its tone for considerably longer than the regular Ambassador, however if heavy hitting is what you are primarily dealing with I would still recommend a double-ply head to maintain the tone for a longer period of time. The Ambassador X is a great single-ply drum head for a wide range of musical genres - open, warm and punchy with some extra durability.
