That's fine. I've always been a Remo guy, coated emps or ambs but right now I'm just exploring my options; I had a go swapping out the amb on my 13" (has a split collar) with a vintage A I had lying around and I couldn't even work the head on. Probably took me 3 minutes to get the old amb head off the drum. They're ridiculously tight. I'd rather not have to hack away at drumheads just to get them on and I'd like to know that the AM heads will actually fit before I order some in.

I have a 51 Radio King kit. 13 and 16 " Aquarian American vintage fit with no problem. I also put a Remo 24" PS3 on the bass drum with no problem.

For a Gretsch Round Badge kit, these are the only way to go. I had to pry Ambassadors off with a screwdriver before I discovered these. They sound great and I'm a fan.

I've got a Remo Emperor on my new RK kit's snare and bass, with an Ambassador on the tom. Next time I need new heads for 'em I'll have to give these a shot. I was just on YT looking up some reviews for the heads and this seemed quite appropriate :D
