The Remo Vintage Emperor Clear Drum Head 15" offers a midrange punch and pleasant sustain reminiscent of the iconic drum sounds of yesteryear. Constructed of two plies of 7.5-mil polyester film, this drum head provides enhanced attack, durability and transparency for articulate tones with a hint of "old-school" warmth. When rock and roll took over the airwaves, Remo's original Emperor drum head laid down the beat—now the Vintage Emperor lets modern drummers recreate those legendary sounds.

Vintage-Inspired Construction for Retro Sound

With a design based on Remo's original Emperor model from the 1960s, the Vintage Emperor drum head delivers a sound that shaped the soundtrack of generations. Its two-ply, 7.5-mil polyester film construction provides the ideal thickness for a balance of punch, sustain and controlled overtones reminiscent of iconic drum tones from rock's golden age. Clear film allows the drum's natural acoustic properties to shine through for articulate, resonant tones with subtle warmth.

Enhanced Attack and Durability

The Vintage Emperor's two-ply construction gives drummers an enhanced attack for pronounced and defined strokes. Its polyester film is also more durable than traditional single-ply models, standing up well to regular use. The combination of attack, sustain and durability makes this drum head ideal for drummers wanting a vintage sound for live shows and recording.

15" Size for Versatile Tone and Application

With a diameter of 15", the Vintage Emperor Clear Drum Head offers a versatile size suitable for a wide range of musical applications and drum types. It provides a full, resonant tone on smaller tom drums and snares, with enough sustain and projection for live venues and recording. This all-purpose size also allows drummers to achieve a consistent vintage sound across their entire drum kit.

    The Remo Vintage heads are fantastic! The 2 ply Emporer heads are just a bit thicker and the fat sound they produce is perfect for rock drumming.

    These heads sound awesome on my ddrum Reflex 6-piece! Rack toms are bright, full of attack, and have a beautiful resonance; floor toms are deep, punchy, and also resonate beautifully. Coming from Evans EC2s, I was pleasantly surprised with how little overtones were present. Quite versatile, too; I can't think of a genre of music these heads wouldn't sound great for. I love playing these!

    I put these heads on my old Pearl Export Kit. I have a 12" and 13" rack toms and a 16" floor tom. When I played the kit next day after installing them. My ears were excited from the first strike on the 12" tom and the band got charged up from the sound of my kit as they were hearing a different sound on each song. It was a awesome heavenly sound from Heaven. People were asking me did you get a new kit? Why does your drums have a more distinct clear, bright, powerful clean sound? I told them it was the Holy Spirit and Remo Clear Vintage Emperor Heads. (On The resonant side I'm using REMO Clear Ambassadors Heads)Cannot go wrong using these heads. So try them you'll hear what I mean
