Detail 01

Goes on the front of the kick, away from the pedal. It shapes sustain and pitch, not attack.

RemoEbony Ambassador Resonant Bass Drum Head 24 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 24-inch resonant (front) head for a bass drum, in black. Replacement for a worn or damaged front head on a standard 24-inch kick.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a torn or dull front head on a 24-inch kick
- Matching a black-wrap kit or all-black head setup
- Drummers who want a single-ply front head with open sustain
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a batter head — this is the front side
- Kicks that are 22 or 26 inches — size must match exactly
- Players wanting a pre-ported head with a hole cut
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, the thinner of Remo's common weights. More sustain and higher-pitched ring than a thicker head.
Detail 03
24 in.
Matches a 24-inch drum's shell diameter, not the rim measurement. A 24 head will not fit a 22 kick.
Detail 04
Ebony film
Black film instead of clear. Slightly darker, drier tone than the clear version and hides the shell interior.
Detail 05
Bass drum head
Built for kick tension and diameter, with a wider collar than tom heads of the same nominal size.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No port hole — you cut one yourself if you want mic access
- 02Measure the drum's shell diameter, not the old head's outer ring
- 03Head only; no tuning key, port ring, or damping included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the front head or the one you hit?
The front. Resonant means it faces away from the pedal and is not struck. For the beater side you need a bass drum batter head.
02Does it come with a hole for a microphone?
No. It ships solid. If you want a port for a mic, you cut it yourself and typically add a port ring to protect the edge.
03Will this fit my 22-inch kick?
No. Drum heads are sized to the shell diameter and do not stretch. A 24-inch head only fits a 24-inch bass drum.
04Does the black film sound different from clear?
Slightly. The Ebony film reads a touch darker and drier than clear at the same tuning, though the difference is smaller than a change in ply count.
