A good head

Anonymous 02.07.2014

If you are Remo die hard Ambassador/Emperor user and not tried this head - it's time to do it.
Remo Vintage A is a two ply head, created to reassemble the first remo drum head made in 50's. Which does not mean that it sounds like that.
Sound takes you closer to emperor, but with more mellow and warm attack.
It sounds great on modern drums but if you have vintage 3-ply re-ring shells (Rogers, Ludwig, Slingerland, Camco) - it will give you a lot of pleasure!

Generally the head starts to give the full response after week, two of playing.

Sounds exceptionally good on vintage Ludwig Supraphonic snare.

Powerful brush sound

Anonymous 16.09.2015

Nice coating, a bit thicker "grain" than most heads today, resulting in a louder brush sound which is useful e.g. in a live jazz setting with few or no microphones (used with Regal Tip Jeff Hamilton Signature brushes, which are quite loud brushes).

One of the top drum heads out there!

I use it for Rock music mainly. The sound out of it is not too choked and can experiment with muffling to get different sounds. The head is more durable than a single ply ambassador. Great for live and studio.

Alternative snare head to an ambassador.

Anonymous 22.06.2016

One of my favourite alternatives to a standard ambassador snare head. Little bit thicker.
