Remo BA-0118-00 Ambassador Coated Drumhead — 18″

Warm, open, and expressive

The Remo Ambassador Coated is the most popular drumhead in the world, featuring the perfect combination of warm, open tones with bright attack and controlled sustain. Constructed with a single ply of 10-mil Coated film, the Ambassador Coated is designed for tom, bass, and snare batter applications. The 18″ version delivers the classic Ambassador balance of warmth, openness, attack, and controlled sustain.

Single-Ply 10-Mil Coated Film — Warm & Open

The Ambassador Coated is constructed from a single ply of 10-mil Coated film, providing the warm, open tonal character that has made the Ambassador series an industry standard. The single-ply construction gives the head a responsive feel while allowing the drum to retain a natural and expressive sound.

Warm, Open Tones — Classic Ambassador Sound

The Ambassador Coated delivers warm, open tones with a natural and musical response. Its tonal character provides a strong foundation for a wide range of drum set applications while retaining the openness and resonance associated with a single-ply head.

Bright Attack — Clear & Responsive

The Ambassador Coated provides a bright attack for a clear and immediate response from each stroke. This makes it suitable for players who want definition and articulation without sacrificing the warmth of the overall tone.

Controlled Sustain — Balance Between Openness & Control

The controlled sustain helps balance the naturally open character of a single-ply head. The result is a responsive drumhead with warmth and openness while maintaining a more controlled decay.

Versatile Application — Tom, Bass & Snare Batter

The 18″ Ambassador Coated is ideal for tom, bass, and snare batter applications. This versatility makes the Ambassador Coated a practical choice for drummers who want the same familiar tonal character across different parts of a drum set.

The World’s Most Popular 1-Ply Coated Drumhead

The Ambassador Coated is recognised by Remo as the world’s most popular 1-ply coated drumhead. Its combination of warm, open tones, bright attack, and controlled sustain has made it a long-standing choice across drum set applications.
