Snare Drumheads Comparison | Remo

Описание: At Remo, we are dedicated to giving you as many options as possible so your sound can match your personality. Here are 22 of Remo’s most popular snare batter drumheads compared side-by-side. TIMESTAMP LIST BELOW⬇️

Since the snare is the most expressive drum in any kit, it is important to choose a drumhead that will give you the most out of your drum.

We teamed up with The Art of Drumming to compare 22 of Remo’s most popular snare batter drumheads in a consistent, side-by-side setup. This video is designed as an educational reference for drummers who want to better understand how different snare batter drumhead designs impact sound and feel.

Hear how variations in materials, construction, and built-in damping affect attack, sustain, tone, and snare response. By keeping the drum, tuning approach, and recording environment consistent, this comparison highlights the true sonic differences between each head. The snare drum used in this video is a 6.5x14 Gretsch Brooklyn 6 ply maple/poplar shell paired with Gretsch 302 hoops, and an Ambassador Hazy as the snare side drumhead.

Whether you’re dialing in a specific sound for your musical style, upgrading your current setup, or simply learning how drumheads shape your snare drum’s voice, this video provides a practical guide to choosing the right Remo snare batter drumhead—and demonstrates how a simple head change can completely refresh your sound.

For the ultimate in snare tone, response, tuning range, articulation, and expression, the Ambassador Coated is the industry standard. Ambassador X Coated offers similar characteristics with added durability in a single-ply 12-mil film, with a slightly warmer tone and less sustain. The single-ply Ambassador X14 Coated provides even greater durability with a darker tone and controlled sustain thanks to its single-ply 14-mil construction. The Ambassador Vintage Coated provides added warmth with a short sustain due to its two-ply construction.

If you seek the warm tone and articulation of a natural calf drumhead without the inherent headaches caused by temperature and humidity, the Diplomat Skyntone and Diplomat Fiberskyn provide sensitivity with a subdued stick attack, while the Ambassador Fiberskyn and Ambassador Renaissance offer an even darker tone with warm, midrange frequencies.

Controlled Sound and Controlled Sound X Coated combine the tone and response of Ambassador Coated, but with added durability and controlled sustain. The Powerstroke P3 Coated provides all the warmth and sensitivity of the Ambassador Coated while featuring a dampening underlay ring around the circumference. The Powerstroke P3 Coated Clear Dot adds durability with a darker tone.

The classic rock sounds of the 60s and 70s often featured the two-ply punch of Emperor Coated and Emperor Vintage Coated, the latter most famously used by John Bonham of Led Zeppelin. For a more modern take on a 2-ply snare batter, the Emperor Black Suede and Powerstroke 4 Coated provide a darker tone with great stick articulation.

When two plies aren’t enough, the Powerstroke 77 Clear, Colortone, and Coated heads feature an added center dot and a dampening underlay ring for a tight, dry, punchy sound that is a favorite of hard rock and R&B drummers. For the ultimate in durability, Emperor X and Emperor X Black Suede feature two plies of 10-mil film plus a center dot that can withstand the heaviest hitters without sacrificing tone.
