Tech Tip Tuesday:
āŖ@remopercussion⬠Ambassador Coated VS. Remo Controlled Sound Coated. Which one is your pick?
.

Before we start, I wanted to point out that each snare drum is crafted differently. That means that the drum head will react differently according to the build of each drum. This is how these drumheads sound on this Pearl Music City custom snare.
The wires and snare side head stayed the same, along with my playing, and microphone placement, and I tensioned the batter drum heads the same using a tension watch.
Since we got through the consistent factors, letās dig into these drum heads!
The 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 1-ply 10-mil Coated film, Ambassador Coated drumheads are the industry standard for all applications.
The Controlled Sound Coated Bottom Black Dot⢠features focused midrange tones with added durability. Constructed with 1 ply of 10-mil Coated film and a 5-mil Bottom Black Dot, this drumhead provides medium and heavy-duty drumhead characteristics. The drumhead's outer area offers enhanced tone and sensitivity while the center dot adds durability and overtone control.
I loved how both drum heads delivered similar sounds despite the construction differences. Although they both sounded wide open I feel the controlled sound provided control with way more durability, as opposed to the ambassador.
Either way, these are two iconic drum heads that can provide an array of different sounds with any drum.
Remember to listen with your ears and not your eyes because in my opinion if this was a blind comparison I donāt think people would know which one.
