RemoAmbassador Clear Classic Fit Drum Head 16 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for older drums whose shell or covering makes a standard head difficult to seat, this 16-inch Ambassador Clear Classic Fit head uses a narrower flesh hoop and stepped profile. Its inside diameter is enlarged while the outside diameter remains standard, keeping clearance at the counter hoop. It is aimed at pre-mid-1960s oversized drums, including vintage shells that are out of round or carry thick, overlapping wraps.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a 16-inch head on an older oversized drum made before the mid 1960s.
- Vintage drums with out-of-round shells or thick overlapping drum coverings.
