Description

The Remo Classic Fit Ambassador Coated drumhead is a thoughtful solution for vintage drum enthusiasts and restoration projects. Built to the same tonal specs as Remoโ€™s legendary Ambassador Coatedโ€”single-ply 10mil film with a textured surfaceโ€”it features a slightly reduced collar diameter that accommodates drums with oversized shells, rounded bearing edges, or non-standard dimensions.

Ideal for older American drums from the 1950s to 1970s, this head offers warm, full-bodied tone with excellent tuning range and brush response. The coating adds warmth and feel, while the Classic Fit ensures your head seats properly for better contact and resonance.

Whether you’re breathing new life into a vintage kit or outfitting a rare shell configuration, the Classic Fit Ambassador delivers the tone you love with the fit you need.

Why Choose the Classic Fit Ambassador Coated:

  • Specifically made for oversized or vintage shells

  • Delivers the classic warmth and open tone of an Ambassador

  • Coated surface ideal for expressive playing styles

  • Lets your vintage drums sing without modification

  • A must-have for restorers and retro kit owners
