What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Clear tom heads
More attack and top-end bite than coated. Toms track well under a microphone.
Detail 03
Coated Emperor snare head
Two-ply and coated: durable under rimshots, warmer than clear, and it takes brushes. Less sensitive to soft ghost notes.
Detail 04
Standard sizing
Cut for 12, 13 and 16 in. toms. Check your shell diameters before ordering.
Detail 05
Made in the United States
Remo's own film and hoop assembly, so collar depth is consistent and heads seat evenly on the bearing edge.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Batter heads only — no resonant bottom heads included
- 02A two-ply snare head reduces ghost-note sensitivity compared with a single-ply
- 03Detune, seat and retune each head after the first hour of playing
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is a two-ply snare head worth it?
If you play rimshots hard, yes. It lasts far longer than a single-ply. If you rely on quiet ghost notes, go single-ply.
02What comes in this pack?
Clear Emperor batters for 12, 13 and 16 in. toms, plus a 14 in. coated Emperor snare head.
03How do these compare to Pinstripes?
Emperors keep more sustain and attack. Pinstripes use an oil ring to cut overtones for a shorter, drier tom note.
04Do I need special tools?
Just a drum key. Tighten in a star pattern in small increments so the head seats evenly.
