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 weight. Open and resonant, with less durability than a two-ply head under heavy playing.
Detail 03
Single ply
No built-in muffling ring. You control the damping with a pillow, blanket, or external muffler.
Detail 04
20 in.
Fits a 20-inch kick. Smaller and punchier than a 22, common on jazz and compact kits.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No muffling built in — plan on a pillow or damping ring
- 02Head only; no port hole, no mounting hardware
- 03A hard plastic beater will wear a coated single-ply head quickly
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Batter or resonant side?
It works either way on a 20-inch kick. As a batter it is on the thin side for heavy playing; as a front head it gives a warm, open tone.
02Why coated on a bass drum?
The coating takes off some high-end ring, giving a warmer, more controlled kick. It is a common choice for jazz.
03Do I need to muffle it?
Usually yes. A single-ply head with no built-in damping rings a lot. A folded towel or small pillow inside is enough.
04Will this fit a 22-inch kick?
No. The head has to match the shell diameter. A 20 in. head only fits a 20 in. bass drum.
