I bought this to replace my ambassador snare head, as I am now playing at lower volumes and wanted extra sensitivity. I had been amazed at the difference putting ordinary diplomats on the bottom of my mounted toms had made to the sound in terms of brightness and response, and so I wanted the same result from my snare drum.
Anyway, to cut to the chase, it didn't give e the results I was hoping for. Maybe an ambassador snare head is thin enough already, but I didn't get extra sensitivity or brightness- what I got was a fatter tone- almost the opposite of what I was expecting. I seemed t get less f a difference in the sound between quiet and loud. It was almost as if it was overloading the head, as if it couldn't quite cope. Anyhow, I wasn't unhappy with the sound of my ambassadors- it is just that I thought I would experiment.
It would possibly suit someone wanting a bigger fatter sound from their snare while playing at low volumes. I am imagining if you are playing slow ballads with an acoustic band or similar, this may suit. However, for me just wanting more sensitivity this didn't deliver.
