Remo Ambassador Hazy Snare Side Drumhead, 14"

I play rock music and have a YouTube channel. Although I have to muffle these a little bit they sound great.

Perfect upgrade to the supplied drum heads. So much more resposive.

Works and sounds great

The media could not be loaded. The Remo Ambassador line of heads is the best all-around snare resonant head you will find on the market, and can literally be used in any situation ranging from bebop to extreme metal, which is why it's almost always the head that is shipped by default with most drums. *I am a work-study at the Percussion Department of the Berklee College of Music, and we use the heads for almost all of the resonant heads on our snare drums around campus.To be clear, THIS IS THE DRUM HEAD YOU PUT ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF YOUR SNARE DRUM - you don't normally hit it with your sticks. Don't get confused with the different names people refer to it as - it's sometimes called a snare head, resonant head, bottom head, or others (just NOT batter). "Hazy" and "Clear" are the same thing to Remo. This head is the equivalent of the Evans Clear 300 Snare Side head.The Hazy Ambassadors are 3-mil thick. The alternatives are the 2-mil thick Hazy Diplomant (or Evans 200) and the 5-mil Hazy Emperor (or Evans 500) snare heads.The attached video is taken from my YouTube channel - never3818 - and is a tutorial on how I tune my snare drums with the Hazy Ambassador as my snare drum resonant head to get a punchy modern sound as found in my other videos!*Disclaimer: The material in this video and this review are my own opinions or facts and don't necessarily represent the opinions of the Berklee College of Music.

I like these drum heads for their durability in a marching band setting.....Kids can be rough on an instrument. I've seen some reviews say their snare sounded better with this head....To me? ....This head allows marching snares to be loud and not echo as much....the sound is crisp and not hollow....It will give you the "cha-cha-cha" sound....be sure to tune your drum to a D and make sure your snare wires are touching the bottom head and you will get the sound you're looking for. Most drummers don't know how to tune their snare drum.....go to youtube to learn how. This head is excellent on a marching snare- FFX Pearl. It lasts forever!!!! It's built great! It can take a licking and keep on ticking!! For the price- you can't beat the quality and durability of a Remo. They are worth every last penny you spend!!!!!

Great head just as Remo is known for. Shipping was not great and took several additional days to arrive.

Remo-the de facto standard for a reason. Put one of these on a 50 year old metal shell snare drum that I was refurbishing. Sounds great, excellent snare response.

The snare side of my snare drum broke about a week and a half before a show and I didn't have a backup, so I ordered this ASAP. This was easy to tune and break in and I love the way the snare cracks!
