The DIPLOMAT™, AMBASSADOR™, and EMPEROR™ names are so widely understood they’re also commonly used to describe drumhead weights. Remo’s brightest sounding DIPLOMAT™ uses a single
layer of 7.5 mil (.0075") Mylar® film. An AMBASSADOR™ head uses a slightly thicker 10 mil (.010") single ply film while the most durable EMPEROR™ uses two 7 mil films together.

These principal drumheads come in three standard finishes, from the brightest sounding clear to the darkest sounding coated, with the smooth white finish a middling sound between clear and coated. These standard weights and finishes are the basis for how modern drumheads are described.

Remo's popular PinStripe heads are made from two plies of Remo clear film and bonded at the collar to dampen both high overtones and overall resonance. The result is a very focused, low pitched
sound with moderate attack and response characteristics that is ideal for creating a deeper, fatter, controlled drum sound in a variety of studio and live drumming situations. PinStripe heads
are available in classic Clear as well as Coated, for an even more controlled sound and brush surface.
