RemoAmbassador Snare Drum Head No Collar 13 in. Ebony
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 13-inch black Ambassador snare batter head with no collar, single-ply and medium weight. For drummers replacing a head on a 13-inch snare.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn batter head on a 13-inch snare
- Drummers wanting an open, resonant single-ply response
- Players who want a black head to match a darker kit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Hard hitters who need the durability of a two-ply head
- Anyone with a 14-inch snare — this will not fit
- Players wanting built-in muffling or a dry, controlled sound

Final check
Know before you order

- 03Single-ply heads dent faster under heavy rimshots than two-ply
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does no collar mean?
The head has a flat profile at the edge instead of the usual raised step. Some drums are built to take this design specifically — check before buying.
02Will this fit a 14-inch snare?
No. This is a 13-inch head and will not seat on a 14-inch shell.
03Is the black finish just cosmetic?
Mostly. Ebony film is slightly warmer than clear with a bit less top-end ring, but the difference is subtle.
04Is Ambassador thick enough for hard playing?
It is a medium single-ply, tuned toward openness rather than durability. Heavy rimshot players usually want something thicker.
