Ambassador Hazy Snare Side is the industry standard snare side head, a single ply of 3-mil hazy film thin enough to respond to the snare wires beneath it. It balances high, mid and low frequencies across every type of snare drum, and it is what most drums ship with from the factory.
Three mil of film, and the whole snare sound depends on it.
The Ambassador Hazy Snare Side features open resonant tones that is the industry standard for resonant Snare drum applications. Constructed with 1-ply of 3-mil film, Ambassador Hazy Snare Side drumheads provide a perfect balance of high, mid and low frequencies for all Snare drum types. Available in sizes 8 - 16 inches.

Why Is a Snare Side Head So Thin?
At 3-mil it is thin enough to move with the wires underneath, which is what produces the snare response. A thicker head damps that movement and the drum loses its crack and sensitivity.
How Often Should a Snare Side Head Be Replaced?
When it dents, wrinkles or loses response. Snare side heads fail from wire contact and tuning rather than from stick impact, and a tired one flattens the whole drum even with a new batter head on top.
Does Hazy Sound Different From Clear on the Snare Side?
Hazy is slightly warmer and less bright than clear. It is the more common choice and the one Remo describes as the industry standard.
Why Remo
Remo has made drumheads in the United States since 1957, when Remo Belli replaced calfskin with Mylar and ended the problem that had defined drumming until then: a head that changed pitch with the weather. Every major head design since has come out of that company, and the Ambassador remains the most widely used drumhead in the world. Remo also builds world percussion, marching heads and the Acousticon shells used across its drum circle range.
