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.
