RemoAmbassador Bass Drum Head With 5.5" Port Hole Ebony 24 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 24-inch black front head for a kick drum with the mic port already cut. For drummers who want a ported resonant head without cutting one themselves.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Ported front head on a 24" kick, no cutting required
- Miking the kick from inside on stage or in the studio
- Matching a black-wrap kit or blacked-out hardware
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- 20" or 22" kicks — the diameter is fixed
- Players who want a solid front head and long, boomy sustain
- Anyone who wants the port placed somewhere specific
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
5.5" port hole
Wide enough to pass a standard kick mic inside, small enough that the drum keeps its low end.
Detail 03
Ambassador weight
Remo's medium single-ply standard. Open and resonant rather than thick and pre-choked.
Detail 04
Ebony film
Opaque black instead of clear or coated white. Purely visual — the port still reads clearly against it.
Detail 05
Ported front head
Air escapes on every hit, so decay shortens and attack sharpens without adding muffling inside.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only — no mic, mic mount, port ring, or muffling pillow
- 02You'll need a drum key and time to tension the lugs evenly
- 03Port position is pre-cut and permanent; you can't relocate it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the batter head or the front head?
Front (resonant) head. The port faces the audience and lets a mic reach inside. The batter side you hit takes a head without a hole.
02Will my kick mic fit through the port?
A 5.5-inch opening clears standard kick mics. Very large-body mics on a bulky mount can be tight — measure the mic and its clip together.
03Do I have to cut anything myself?
No. The hole is factory-cut and finished, so there's no risk of tearing the film with a hole cutter.
04How does the port change the sound?
It shortens sustain and brings up attack. You generally need less internal muffling than with a solid front head.
