Use Cases
The Emperor Clear is specifically tailored for musical styles that demand a “cutting” sound and a sharp transient response. It is most popular among drummers playing Hard Rock, Funk, and R&B, where the drums need to be heard clearly over amplified instruments.
Because of its durability and projection, it is an excellent choice for touring musicians and studio recording where a consistent, punchy attack is required on snare drums and rack toms.
Installation
Installation of the Emperor Clear requires a standard drum key. Ensure the bearing edge of the drum is clean and free of debris before placement. Center the head carefully over the shell and tighten the tension rods in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to ensure even pressure across the hoop. Tune to your preferred pitch, ensuring the head is seated firmly to avoid air leaks or uneven vibration.
Compatibility
This drumhead is compatible with any standard drum shell featuring a 12″ diameter bearing edge, including snare drums and tom-toms. It is designed for use with standard drum hoops and tension rod systems.
Additional Details
The Remo Emperor series is available in a wide range of sizes from 6″ to 40″, allowing drummers to maintain a consistent sonic characteristic across their entire kit. By utilizing two plies of film, Remo has created a head that balances the brightness of a clear head with the structural integrity needed for professional performance.
