RemoAmbassador Smooth White Bass Head With Crimplock Collar White 20 in.
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 20" white bass drum batter head with a Crimplock collar, so it fits marching bass drums rather than a standard kit bass drum.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Marching bass drum lines running Crimplock tension systems
- Replacing a worn or punctured 20-inch marching bass head
- Players who want a bright, open marching bass tone
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum set bass drums — the Crimplock collar will not mount
- Anyone needing a deep, dry, dampened studio bass thud
- Sizes other than 20 inch — heads do not stretch to fit
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 film. More sustain and overtones than a thicker head, with less attack focus.
Detail 03
Smooth White finish
A coated-looking white surface without the texture of a true coated head. Slightly warmer than clear film.
Detail 04
20 in. diameter
Matches the shell diameter, not the rim. Measure your shell, not the old head, before ordering.
Detail 05
Bass head
Built for the lower tension and larger surface of a bass drum, not a tom or snare.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your drum uses Crimplock hardware — standard hoops and lugs will not work
- 02One head only. Both sides of a marching bass need two
- 03Measure the shell diameter directly; 20 inch means the shell, not the hoop
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my 20-inch kick drum on a drum set?
No. The Crimplock collar is a marching bass drum mounting system and does not seat under a standard drum set bass hoop.
02Is this a batter head or a resonant head?
It is a batter head, meant for the struck side. On a marching bass drum both sides get hit, so many players run two.
03How does Smooth White sound compared to clear?
Slightly warmer with a touch less top-end ring. The difference is subtle compared to changing head weight or tuning.
04Do I get one head or a pair?
One head. Marching bass drums are struck on both sides, so budget for a second if you are replacing both.
