Detail 01
2-ply coated film: 7-mil and 5-mil
The head uses two coated film layers as its playing surface.

Independent shopping perspective
Built for a 24-inch bass drum, this coated Emperor SMT head combines two film plies with Remo’s Sub Muffl Technology. Its external damping profile uses free-floating acoustic foam while retaining the head and shell’s full sound characteristics. In use, the design brings added attack and low-end frequencies, with controlled highs and mids across a broad tuning range. It suits live work and recording where that pre-muffled response is part of the setup.
