RemoEmperor Tom Drum Head Pack Standard Clear
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Three clear two-ply Emperor tom batter heads in Standard sizing. A durable, moderately controlled step up from stock single-ply heads.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock and pop drummers wanting punch without killing sustain
- Replacing worn factory heads on a starter or mid kit
- Players who dent single-ply heads within a few months
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers who need a snare head — none is included here
- Kits with 10 or 14 in. toms rather than Standard sizes
- Players chasing maximum open ring and long decay
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 film
Sharper stick attack and brighter overtones than coated. Cuts through loud guitars better.
Detail 03
Standard sizing
Sized for 12, 13 and 16 in. toms — the older two-up, one-down layout. Confirm your shell sizes first.
Detail 04
Two-ply thickness
Takes heavy hitting and resists denting, but rewards a firm stroke. Quiet playing feels less responsive.
Detail 05
Tom batter heads only
These go on top. Bottom heads stay as they are, which keeps a lot of your current tom character.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No snare head in this pack — buy one separately if yours is worn
- 02Resonant bottom heads are not included
- 03New two-ply heads need a stretch and retune after the first session
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Emperor or Pinstripe?
Emperor keeps more ring and attack. Pinstripe damps overtones for a shorter, fatter note. Pick Emperor if your toms sound choked already.
02What tom sizes does this fit?
Standard sizing: 12, 13 and 16 in. Measure the shell diameter, not the hoop, before ordering.
03Are these good for beginners?
Yes. They are harder to dent than stock heads and tune easily, so a new drummer replaces them less often.
04Does clear sound different from coated?
Yes. Clear is brighter with more attack. Coated is warmer and slightly darker, and it accepts brushes.
