Somewhere around the mid-1960s drum manufacturers changed up the internal sizing of their shells, and most modern drum heads don't fit all very well on these vintage instruments. Remo Classic Fit Drum Heads solve that problem, so if you've got truly vintage drums they're a lifesaver!
The flesh hoop on these heads are slightly narrower than normal, giving the head a larger inside diameter without increasing the outer diameter. They're good for drums with thick covers or are slightly out of round.
Not too thin and not too thick, Remo's Ambassador Coated heads are made from one ply of 10-mil Mylar film that resonates with a long, bright tone. They have a moderate durability - as long as you don't wail on them, they'll treat you well for quite a while. Great for heavier jazz or light-to-medium rock!
The coated surface gives the head a slightly muted, darker tone than a clear head.
