Remo Emperor X coated batter drum heads are arguably the  most durable Mylar heads in the world, made with two free-floating plies of 10-mil Mylar with a 5-mil reverse black dot. Their consistent, focused, warm tones make them a favorite among many of today's hardest-hitting drummers. Remo Emperor X coated batter drum heads naturally filter out ringing overtones, making them easy to tune on virtually any drum.

MUST HAVE

I find most people use this head for their snares, but use them on my hi tom and floor tom and let me tell you it has the perfect depth that you wont find with any other heads without using "mufflers".I definitley recomend this to any hard hitter whos looking for low tones, instead of the muffled boxy sound!...suerte!

Not for me.

I have two very major issues with this head. The reverse dot area deadens rebound significantly. Play outside the dot and play inside the dot area and you will see what I mean. Also, this head for reasons I cant solve gives my snare a nasty decay that is too long on the resonant side. I put my standard emperor snare head back on and both issues went away.

    Perfect snare drum head. I have a 6.5" deep by 14" in diameter solid maple snare drum. Problem I always encounter with other drum heads is that it produces a lot of overtones and can be very difficult to minimize. This head assisted drastically with eliminating the overtones while still produces a great pop and an overall full sound. I put a moon gel to assist, and my snare drums sounds amazing! Significantly better than it ever has. Very durable as well.

    Love the sound of this head. The coated head really aids in reducing overtones. Fast shipment, quick delivery.
