Remo ES-0014-00 Ambassador Ebony 14 inch tomvel

I chose this head to use on the resonant side of my 14” tom to kick conversion. I am definitely prefer clear heads on my toms, but this looks amazing on the front side of my emerald fade shell kick.

I should mention this is being paired with a remo silentstroke batter head for a low volume compact set to practice at home - otherwise I’d just be playing my 22” kick. This combination sounds amazing and the smaller 14” tom conversion helps the kick cut through at low volume.

I was so close to porting this head, but I am so glad I didn’t. Tuned just out of the flat thump range, and tweaked up just a pinch to get the head singing, it’s giving a big fat woody bass sound. Pretty cool considering all the tone is coming from this head being paired with a mesh batter.

I love this head, it sounds awesome and looks clean and and cool too - despite being a fan of clear tom batters I’d consider this for my whole kit as it looks really rich Along side the emerald green.

I have never really strayed much from remo as often they were all I could get my hands on or afford, but I am definitely beginning to have a new appreciation remo heads.
