Description

The Remo 20″ Pre-International Ambassador Coated Bass Drum Head is purpose-built for drummers and collectors working with oversized vintage British drums. Before international sizing became standard in the late 1960s, many drum manufacturers—such as Premier and Beverley—crafted shells slightly larger than today’s heads are designed to fit. This Pre-International model features a subtly expanded collar, allowing the head to seat comfortably and tune correctly without stress on the hoop or shell.

Made with Remo’s classic single-ply 10mil coated film, it offers a warm, open bass drum tone with smooth resonance and excellent low-end character. The coated surface adds soft attack and a touch of vintage warmth, ideal for jazz, traditional rock, and acoustic genres.

Whether you’re restoring a rare find or preserving a beloved kit, this head delivers professional tone in a format that honors the original build of your instrument.

Why Choose the Remo 20″ Pre-International Ambassador Coated:

  • Designed for oversized vintage British shells

  • Delivers the same legendary Ambassador tone and feel

  • Preserves tuning stability and shell integrity

  • Smooth, warm bass response with subtle sustain

  • A critical upgrade for collectors, restorers, and vintage drum enthusiasts
