Overview
The Remo Ambassador Fiberskyn 18" Tom Drumhead is designed to replicate the look, feel, and sound of traditional calfskin while providing the consistency and durability of modern synthetic materials. By laminating a single ply of 10-mil Mylar film with a 3-mil polyspun fiber, Remo has created a head that delivers a warm, full-range tone with outstanding definition and enhanced low-midrange resonance. This unique construction produces a vintage sound character that is highly sought after for jazz, orchestral, and concert applications.
Beyond its sonic qualities, the Fiberskyn surface offers a distinctive texture that makes it excellent for brushwork, providing the necessary friction for lush, sweeping sounds that smooth heads cannot achieve. Whether used on a floor tom in a jazz kit or a concert drum in an ensemble, the Ambassador Fiberskyn offers superior articulation and projection. Its robust design also ensures it remains stable and durable, making it a reliable choice for outdoor performance and marching percussion as well.
