Detail 01

Opaque white film with no coating texture. Looks like a coated head but plays slick under sticks and brushes.

RemoSmooth White Ambassador Batter Drumhead 12 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 12-inch Remo Ambassador batter head in smooth white. A standard-weight replacement for a 12-inch tom or drum that takes that size.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a stock or worn 12-inch tom batter
- Players wanting a white opaque look instead of clear
- General-purpose kit use at moderate volume
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Brush players — the smooth surface gives little grip
- Very hard hitters who want a two-ply head
- Anyone needing a bottom resonant head
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
Batter
Top, played side. The thinner bottom resonant head on a two-headed tom is separate.
Detail 03
12 in.
Matches a shell measuring 12 inches across the outside diameter, regardless of the drum's depth.
Detail 04
Ambassador
Remo's standard medium weight — more open and responsive than heavy two-ply heads, less dent-resistant.
Detail 05
Single head
One head per package. Retensioning a whole kit means buying one per drum.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the shell, not the old head's printed size, before ordering.
- 02Drum key not included; you need one to install.
- 03Smooth white will not sound the same as a coated head.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is smooth white the same as coated white?
No. Both look white, but smooth white has no textured coating, so it is slicker under sticks and gives brushes almost no grip.
02Will it fit a 12-inch rack tom?
Yes, if the shell measures 12 inches across the outside diameter. Depth does not affect head size.
03Can I use it as a snare batter?
It is a batter head, so it works on the top of any drum that takes a 12-inch head, including a 12-inch snare.
04How hard should I tune it?
Tension evenly in opposite pairs until wrinkles disappear, then adjust to pitch. Even lug tension matters more than absolute tightness.
