RemoAmbassador Black Suede Snare Side Drum Head - Matte Black 14"
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A snare-side (resonant) head for 14" snares, in matte black. Buy it if you want a bottom head that keeps standard snare response with a dark look.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a torn or dented bottom head on a 14" snare
- Drummers who want an all-black kit look, top and bottom
- Keeping snare wire response close to stock feel
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a batter head — this is not for stick contact
- Snares that are not 14" in diameter
- Players wanting a drier, muffled snare bottom
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
14 inch
Matches the drum's shell diameter, not the hoop. A 14" snare takes this; a 13" does not.
Detail 03
Matte black finish
Cuts glare under stage lights and hides scuffs better than a clear bottom head.
Detail 04
Ambassador weight
Remo's standard-thickness line. Neutral starting point rather than a specialty extra-thin or extra-thick head.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only — no snare wires, hoop, or lugs included
- 02You need a drum key to tension it evenly
- 03Confirm your snare is 14"; measure the shell, not the rim
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as a batter head?
No. Snare-side heads are thin and made to sit under the wires. Sticks will puncture it. Use a batter head on top.
02Does the black affect the sound?
The finish is cosmetic. Expect standard Ambassador snare-side response; the look is the reason to pick it over a clear one.
03Will this fit a 14" piccolo snare?
Yes, if the shell diameter is 14". Snare depth does not change which head diameter you need.
04How tight should a snare-side head be?
Tighter than the batter. Crank it up until the wires respond crisply without choking. Tune in small, even steps around the drum.
