These are cheap and a good reference point
Anonymous 28.06.2016
Compared to the murky world of off-brand nameless/budget starter skins something like these will improve the sound of your kit immensely. Of course once you've some experience you might want to branch out a little, but at least you've a great starting off point with a reliable skin. They take a range of tunings very well.

These are pretty thin single ply skins. If you don't already know they tend to be pretty springy with a decent ring and projection, I think they suit all styles of music, but they aren't as durable as double ply or coated heads so heavy hitters or people convinced they are playing in heavy bands and as such need something more durable might not be so keen on them.

I find remo coated tend to chip off almost straight away anyway as well, so clear are fine for top or reso heads.

Love these drum heads
Anonymous 17.09.2015
These Remo Ambassador clear drum heads are my favourite drum heads to use. I find they tune up really easy, sounding good, tuned at high tensions or tuned low. I think they have a great attack, sounding nice and punchy, which is great for playing live.
I would choose these heads for more of a rocky sound, as opposed to a jazzy warm sound, where people would tend to use a coated head.
I have found that these heads last a very long time, you really get your gigs worth out of them, I am yet to break one of these heads, their durability is great, and for the amount they cost, you can't go wrong.

Couldn't go wrong with these ones

I use these as my resonant heads.
They fulfill that purpose great.
I own a Yamaha Tour Custom 8000 drums, with deep toms, and these heads provide the right amount of resonance.

Quickly worn out...
Reminiscence 16.04.2020
Sound good but they really get worn out quickly.
I would recommend Remo Pinstripes instead.
I've used the Pinstripes as well and they're :
• More durable
• Have a similar "clear head" sound
• Push you to bash them to get a nice full sound that the Ambassadors don't have (sound thinner).

I play metal and punk by the way!

Clear tones in a bundle. Thin, easy to tune, with no added muffling. Good tone, good sustain and nice resonance.

A great set of heads
Anonymous 10.09.2016
I use these as resonant heads for my toms, tried them out combined with coated emperors on the batter side. They sound great - a warm, full tone, especially good for a bit of a higher tuning. Jazzy. Vintage. That's what it feels like when playing these heads.

They produce a substantial amount of ring, though. I personally kind of like it, and it's nothing a bit of tape won't fix.


All in all - recommended!

Worth the price
mr p 05.05.2014
Everything with those is okay. Sounds pretty good. All it needs maybe more sustain. First tuning was very easy and fast, no need for hard work by tuning toms. Not much to say about those. The price says everything. If you need pro set you go pro set. If you need practise set you deffenetly buy those.

Remo has never disappointed me. The heads hold the tuning and have a very wide range of tuning. They are also very durable and reliable. Overall, guaranteed satisfaction.
