RemoAmbassador Bass Drum Head With 5.5" Port Hole Ebony 22 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Pre-ported 22-inch bass drum batter or reso head in ebony. For drummers who want a miked, controlled kick without cutting a hole themselves.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio and live kits that need mic access inside the shell
- Drummers who want a shorter, drier kick note
- Replacing a solid front head without drilling it yourself
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers wanting a full, open, resonant bass drum sustain
- Anyone with a 20, 24 or 26 inch bass drum
- Players who prefer a white or clear front head look
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Ambassador weight
Single-ply medium film. More open and sensitive than a two-ply head, less durable under heavy hitting.
Detail 03
22 inch
Fits a 22 inch bass drum shell only. Head size matches drum diameter, not rim size.
Detail 04
Ebony film
Black finish. Reads dark on stage and under lights; tonally the same as the clear version.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your shell diameter, not the old head, before ordering
- 02Head only. No tension rods, hoop, or muffling included
- 03Port is factory-cut and off-center; you cannot reposition it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a batter head or a front head?
The port makes it a front (resonant) head in most setups. You can use it as a batter, but the hole sits where the beater strikes range.
02Do I still need internal muffling?
The port already shortens sustain. Add a pillow or blanket through the hole if you want a drier, thuddier kick.
03Will this fit a 22 inch drum with a 22.5 inch hoop?
Yes. Drum heads are sized by shell diameter. A 22 inch drum takes a 22 inch head.
04Can I put a mic through the port?
Yes. 5.5 inches clears most kick mics, though larger-body mics may be tight.
