Detail 01
Single-ply film
More sustain and brighter attack than a two-ply, but it dents and wears faster under heavy sticking.

RemoClear Ambassador Head 18 in.
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single-ply clear drumhead, 18 inches. The standard open-sounding tom head for players who want sustain and a bright attack.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Floor toms needing long, resonant sustain
- Replacing a worn head on an 18-inch tom
- Players who tune low and want the note to ring
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Hard hitters who need a durable two-ply head
- Anyone wanting a dry, controlled tom sound
- Snare batter use, where a coated head suits brushes
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
Clear film
Brighter and more open than coated. Coated adds warmth and lets brushes catch the surface.
Detail 03
Ambassador weight
Remo's medium single-ply standard. Balanced between response and durability rather than tuned toward either.
Detail 04
18 in.
Floor tom territory. Match to the shell diameter, measured across the shell itself, not the hoop.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Single head only. Batter and resonant sides are separate purchases.
- 02Measure the shell diameter, not the rim, to confirm 18 inches.
- 03Seat and stretch the head, then retune before the first gig.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as a resonant head?
Yes. Clear Ambassadors work on either side. Many players run them top and bottom on toms for maximum sustain.
02How is this different from an Emperor?
Ambassador is single-ply. Emperor is two-ply, which means less sustain, a warmer tone, and more resistance to denting.
03Will it fit an 18-inch bass drum?
It fits an 18-inch shell, but as a single-ply head it's not built for beater impact. A dedicated bass head lasts longer.
04Do I need coated instead?
Only if you play brushes or want a warmer, drier tone. Clear gives more attack and sustain.
