The single-layered drumhead is thicker than previously available, but thinner than double-layered drumheads
The new Remo Ambassador X drumheads combine the durability and the warm sound of double-layered heads, with the dynamics and flexibility of layered drumheads

I'm using the Remo Ambassador X on a 14'' Gretsch Renown Maple snare and the results are very good - especially on a medium to high tuning. The sound is very punchy and open with lots of crack, and the extra thickness in comparison to the standard Ambassador makes this drum head more durable and also darkens the tone slightly. I use the drum head for recording, it can withstand a good beating from heavy hitting drummers and maintain its tone for considerably longer than the regular Ambassador, however if heavy hitting is what you are primarily dealing with I would still recommend a double-ply head to maintain the tone for a longer period of time. The Ambassador X is a great single-ply drum head for a wide range of musical genres - open, warm and punchy with some extra durability.

Trouble free fit and sound

I use this head simply because it fits and tunes perfectly and gives a great sound on my 1970's Ludwig snare.

The reference snare

This Remo head is something we can't ignore, in the realm of snare drums. I believe it could sell with a better price, as they sell so much. The sound is good, but not perfect, depending on the snare shell, etc. Maybe they are the best with steel snare drums.

I love It

I cant put my finger on it, but the skin produces a very pleasurable tone. It has that perfect balance between the tone you would get from the standard Ambassador, and the attack you would expect from a super modern skin. You can tell they are using the latest technology for the skin from the stand out sound. Basically a modern Ambassador sound with great durability.
