RemoSmooth White Emperor Drum Heads 14 in. White
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Smooth white two-ply 14-inch head. For drummers who want coated-head looks with a slick surface and the durability of double-ply film.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 14-inch rack or floor tom needing a warmer, shorter note
- Snare batter where a bright coated attack is too much
- Kits played hard where single-ply heads dent quickly
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Brush players — smooth white has no coating texture to catch
- Anyone after open ring and long sustain
- Light jazz playing that needs a sensitive single-ply response
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
Two-ply build
Shortens decay and knocks down overtones. More dent resistance, less sensitivity to quiet strokes.
Detail 03
14 in. diameter
Fits 14-inch snares and floor toms. Same size, different drum — check which you are heading.
Detail 04
White opaque film
Blocks light through the shell, so you lose the visible interior a clear head gives.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Single head — a snare also needs its own thin resonant bottom head
- 02Brushes will slide on this surface; buy coated if you play brushes
- 03Seat it and retune after an hour of playing as it settles
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use brushes on smooth white?
No. Smooth white has no sprayed coating, so brushes slide without producing the sweep sound. Use a coated head for brush work.
02Snare or tom head?
Either. At 14 inches it fits snares and floor toms. As a snare batter it gives a warmer, shorter note than coated.
03How does it differ from a clear Emperor?
Same two-ply build. White film is warmer with less high-end attack; clear is brighter and more cutting.
04Does it come with a resonant head?
No. One batter head only. Bottom resonant heads are thinner and purchased separately.
