Remo

collapse expand iconDescription

The Remo Emperor Coated drum head is an industry standard for dynamic, all-purpose drum sounds. For over 50 years, Remo has crafted high-quality drum heads used by professionals worldwide, and the Emperor Coated is one of their most popular and enduring models. Constructed of two plies of 7-mil Mylar film, these durable yet responsive drum heads produce full, bright tones with solid projection. The Emperor Coated suits the needs of drummers across genres.

Coated Finish Provides Warm, Nuanced Sound

Remo coats each Emperor drum head with a special textured finish that warms the overall tone and enhances sensitivity. The coating helps dampen undesirable overtones, allowing you to achieve subtle timbres and highly articulated drum sounds. Paired with wood or metal drum shells, the coated film generates a wide range of musical colors that shine through in recordings and live performances.

Free-Floating Plies Enable Powerful, Resonant Tones

At the heart of the Emperor Coated are two plies of 7-mil Mylar film that move independently from one another. This free-floating construction gives the drumhead liveliness and projection while also boosting its durability. The plies readily vibrate in response to your playing, producing full low frequencies, sharp attacks and resonant tones that carry. Despite their power, Emperor Coated drum heads have a balanced, musical quality that blends well with other instruments.

Roadworthy Build Quality Provides Years of Dependable Use

Remo builds the Emperor Coated to meet the demands of frequent gigging and touring. The 7-mil Mylar plies are dense yet pliable, standing up well to aggressive drumming styles without sacrificing tone or feel. The coated finish protects the plies from minor scratches and weathering while also preventing slippage on drum rims. For drummers wanting maximum versatility and value, the Emperor Coated delivers professional quality that lasts.

Wow!

No wonder John Bonham uses these!!! they are an amazing upgrade from the heads that originally came on my drum kit and i am going to stick with these. I hit very hard and they have not even dented in the several months I have had them and when I do eventually break them (if ever) I will without hesitation buy new ones.

I went in to purchase the Evan's G2 coated but they didnt have a 13 and of course the sales kid talked me in to buying the Remos... and I dont dislike them, just not the tone I'm looking for

    So the emperor coated is my go to for warm tones with my drums. Also, they come in handy for small room gigs because they don't have as much ring as the clear drum heads do. My music room at my house is small, and sho' nuff I'm using the coated drums head right now !! Overall, you can get a good tone and sound out of them.

  • Very high quality drum head
