"My story with Remo started when I was about 3 years old. My father is a professional drummer as well, and he only used Remo as a part of his setup. So I grew up with that Remo sound, making it strange to play any other drumheads. For me, Remo heads consistently deliver what I’m looking for - they just feel right. My go-to choice is the Coated Ambassador. I love everything about them. I play a range of styles, from jazz to heavier stuff, and the Ambassadors always rise to the occasion. They’re warm, punchy, and give me the rich palate of overtones I’m looking for. I’ve yet to find another brand that matches their versatility and feel." -Orfi Nehemya
