Detail 01
Coated
The textured white coating gives brushes something to grab and takes a little ring off the attack versus clear.

RemoAmbassador Coated Snare Head 14 Inch 5-Pack
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Five 14-inch coated Ambassador snare batters. Buy it if you change heads often enough that a single head at a time is a waste of a trip.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Gigging drummers who swap the snare batter every few weeks
- Studios and schools tuning up several kits at once
- Anyone who wants brushes to actually sound like brushes
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers who need a resonant-side snare head — this is a batter weight
- Anyone with a 13" or 12" snare — the size is fixed
- Heavy hitters wanting maximum dent resistance from one head
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. Open and sensitive, responds to ghost notes, but dents faster than a two-ply under hard playing.
Detail 03
14 inch
Matches a standard snare. Measure the drum shell, not the old head's printed size, if you are unsure.
Detail 04
5-pack
Roughly a season of heads for a working drummer, at a lower cost per head than buying them one at a time.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Heads only — no drum key, tuning wrench, or dampening rings included
- 02New heads stretch; seat and retune after the first hour of playing
- 03Check whether you need the batter (top) or resonant (bottom) head
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the top or bottom snare head?
It's a batter head — the one you hit, on top. Snare-side resonant heads are much thinner and sold separately.
02Coated or clear — which for a snare?
Coated, if you use brushes or want a slightly warmer, drier attack. Clear is brighter and more open but kills brush work.
03How long does an Ambassador last?
Single-ply heads are the shortest-lived. A hard-hitting player may get a few weeks; light players get months.
04Will this fit a 14-inch piccolo snare?
Yes. Head diameter is what matters, not shell depth, so a 14-inch head fits any 14-inch snare regardless of depth.
