RemoEmperor SMT Coated Bass Drum Head 16 in. White
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For a 16-inch bass drum, the coated Emperor SMT is a pre-muffled head built from 7-mil and 5-mil film plies. Remo places its free-floating acoustic foam in an external damping profile, letting the head and shell retain their full sound characteristics. The result is additional attack and low-end frequencies, plus controlled high and mid frequencies through a broad range of tunings. It is intended for both stage and recording applications.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording sessions using a 16-inch bass drum with controlled high and mid frequencies.
- Live setups that call for added attack and deeper low-frequency response from a pre-muffled head.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking a bass drum head without pre-muffling or an externally mounted damping profile.
