When I returned to drumming a couple of years ago I bought a coated Ambassador. I use brushes in a number of songs and I found the coating rough and uneven and needed wearing in before playing with the band. The coating subsequently wore off very quickly.
I then bought an Evans and found the coating much more durable, as though the coating was a texture of the head rather than a layer on top that could wear/crack off. Same with the Aquarian I used after the Evans.
Then I decided to give the Ambassador another go because I was always a Remo gal. It seems the new Ambassador is more textured than coated - like the Evans and Aquarian - and is even and durable.
Is there some inside word on Remo improving their processes? I really like this new head.
