Renaissance Ambassador heads deliver a warmth, sensitivity, and articulation reminiscent of calfskin. This warm, tonal sound is great for melodic expression and affords a wider, more balanced sound spectrum for tympani, snares, toms, and bass drums in any drumming application. For bass drums, Renaissance heads create a deep, round sound with a low fundamental and moderate attack. This combination allows a low pitch and high degree of control over decay as tuning and a variety of muffling techniques to modify the pitch and attack in acoustic and miked situations.
