RemoClear Ambassador Head 16 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 16-inch clear single-ply tom head. The standard, open-sounding choice for a 16-inch floor tom, top or bottom.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 16-inch floor toms needing more sustain and low-end bloom
- Replacing a worn or dented stock head cheaply
- Bottom-side use where a thin, resonant head helps pitch
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Hard hitters who dent heads fast and want durability
- Players wanting a short, dry, muffled tom note
- Anyone needing a coated surface for brush work
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
Single ply
One layer of film. More tone and stick sensitivity, less durability under heavy playing.
Detail 03
Ambassador weight
Remo's medium-thin standard gauge. Sits between thin resonant heads and heavy two-ply batters.
Detail 04
16 in. size
Fits a 16-inch tom shell. Measure the shell diameter, not the outside of the hoop.
Detail 05
Works top or bottom
Same head serves as batter or resonant. As a bottom head, tune it slightly higher than the top.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only. No tension rods, hoop or dampening rings included.
- 02Order a matching bottom head if you plan to change both sides.
- 03Hard hitters may want a two-ply head instead for longer life.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a top or bottom head?
Either. It is commonly used both ways on a 16-inch floor tom. On the bottom, tune it a little tighter than the batter for a clear pitch.
02Clear or coated for toms?
Clear gives a brighter attack and longer sustain. Choose coated if you use brushes or want a warmer, slightly drier note.
03How long will it last?
It is a single-ply head, so expect dents sooner than a two-ply. Light and moderate players get plenty of life from it.
04Will this fit any 16-inch drum?
It fits standard 16-inch drum shells. Confirm you are measuring the shell diameter rather than the hoop or the rim's outer edge.
