Installation
To install the Ambassador Vintage Series head, remove the existing head and clear any debris from the bearing edge of the drum shell. Place the new head over the shell, ensuring it is centered. Insert the tension rods and tighten them in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to ensure even pressure across the hoop. Tune to your desired pitch using a drum key, making small adjustments to each lug until the head is seated firmly and the tone is balanced.
Compatibility
This specific model is designed for drums with a 13″ diameter. It is compatible with any standard snare or tom-tom that utilizes a 13-inch bearing edge and hoop system.
