Detail 01
Ambassador weight

RemoFiberSkyn Ambassador Batter Drum Head 13 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
13 in. Remo FiberSkyn Ambassador batter head. A single-ply synthetic with a fiber coating, for players wanting a warm, dry top head at a low price.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn 13 in. batter on a tom or snare
- Players chasing a drier, less ringy top head
- Low-volume rooms, brushes, and lighter stick work
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Hard hitters who go through single-ply heads fast
- Anyone wanting bright attack and long sustain
- Resonant-side use, where a thinner head suits better
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
FiberSkyn coating
Fiber layer over the film knocks down overtones and softens attack. Warmer and darker than a coated or clear head.
Detail 03
Batter head
Designed for the side you strike, not the bottom. Thicker and coated where a resonant head would be thinner.
Detail 04
13 in. diameter
Sized by shell diameter, not hoop. A 13 in. head fits a 13 in. shell regardless of drum depth.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell across the top, not over the rim or hoop
- 02Head only. No tuning key, hoop, or lugs included
- 03Detune in a star pattern and seat the new head before final tuning
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What size drum does this fit?
A 13 in. shell. Depth does not matter — drumheads are sized by diameter only. Measure the shell itself, not the rim.
02Is FiberSkyn the same as a coated head?
No. A coated head sprays texture on the film; FiberSkyn bonds a fiber layer over it, giving a drier, darker, more damped response.
03Can I use this on the bottom of a drum?
It is built as a batter head — thicker and coated. It will physically fit, but a dedicated resonant head is thinner and better suited.
04How long will it last?
Single-ply heads are the least durable of Remo's lineup. Light to moderate playing gets good life; heavy hitters should expect frequent changes.
