RemoRenaissance Emperor, Crimplock Marching batter Head 6 in. Renaissance
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
6" Renaissance Emperor batter head with a Crimplock hoop, built for marching tenor drums. Replacement part for Crimplock-equipped drums only.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing the batter head on a 6" marching tenor
- Drum lines wanting a warmer attack than a clear head
- Outdoor use where a head takes hard stick contact
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum kit toms — Crimplock hoops do not fit standard drums
- Any tenor size other than 6 inches
- Players wanting maximum bright attack and articulation
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 weight
Two plies of film. More durable and more controlled than a single-ply head, with less ring.
Detail 03
Renaissance film
Textured, slightly translucent film. Warmer and less brittle-sounding than clear film at the same weight.
Detail 04
Batter head
This is the side you strike. Marching tenors take a lot of impact, so the two-ply build matters here.
Detail 05
6 in. size
Smallest common tenor voice, usually the spock or shot drum in a quad or quint set.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Only fits drums built for Crimplock hoops — check yours before ordering

- 03You will need a drum key and a wrench for the tension casings
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a regular 6" tom?
No. The Crimplock hoop only mounts on drums designed for the Crimplock system, which standard toms are not.
02How does Renaissance differ from clear?
Renaissance film is textured and warmer, taking some edge off the attack while keeping projection outdoors.
03Is this one head or a set?
One head, 6 inch. Tenor sets need a separate head for each drum size.
04Why Emperor instead of a single ply?
Two plies handle marching stick impact better and give a more controlled tone with less uncontrolled ring.
