RemoEmperor SMT Ebony Bass Drumhead - 18 in.

Product overview
About this model
The Emperor SMT Ebony bass drumhead delivers clear attack with strong low-end weight and controlled sustain. Built with two plies of 7.5-mil ebony film and a 5-mil clear film, it uses Remo’s Sub Muff’l Technology with an externally mounted dampening profile and free-floating acoustic foam to manage overtones while maintaining full tonal character. This setup supports a wide tuning range, balancing high and mid frequencies with deeper lows so the drum stays consistent across different playing situations. The added attack and low-frequency presence make it well suited for both live and recording use where clarity and control matter. Offered in multiple sizes, this bass drumhead delivers a balanced, punchy response with clear attack and solid low-end depth.
