RemoRenaissance Emperor, Crimplock Marching batter Head 14 In Renaissance
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Marching bass or tenor batter head with a Crimplock hoop and Renaissance two-ply film. For marching drums only, not a drum set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Marching percussion sections already running Crimplock-mounted heads
- Players wanting more attack and less ring outdoors
- Replacing a torn head mid-season without changing hardware
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum set players — Crimplock will not fit standard hoops
- Anyone wanting a warm, open concert tom sound
- Drums using a different marching mounting system
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
Emperor (two-ply)
Two plies of film. Shorter sustain, more durability, stands up to hard marching sticking.
Detail 03
Renaissance film
A translucent film with a slightly warmer, more focused attack than clear film, without the extra dampening of coating.
Detail 04
14 inch
Head size must match your drum's shell diameter exactly. A 14 will not stretch onto a 13.
Detail 05
Batter head
This is the top head you strike, not the bottom resonant head.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your drum uses Crimplock mounting before ordering
- 02Measure the shell diameter, not the old head's printed size
- 03Head only — no hoop hardware, tension rods or lugs included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my drum set tom?
No. The Crimplock hoop is a marching mounting system and does not seat in a standard drum set counterhoop.
02Is this a top or bottom head?
Top. It is a batter head, meant to be struck.
03How is Emperor different from a single-ply head?
Two plies instead of one. Less sustain and overtone, more durability under heavy playing.
04Do I need tools to install it?
A drum key to loosen and retension the rods. Not included.
