Description

Product Overview

Overview

The Remo Emperor Vintage Coated drumhead is a faithful reissue of the legendary head that defined the sound of heavy rock drumming in the 1970s. Designed for drummers who require a balance of extreme durability and a rich, warm tonal character, this head brings a classic sonic profile to modern percussion setups.

By utilizing a specialized construction of two plies of 7.5-mil coated film, the Emperor Vintage Coated delivers enhanced mid and low-range frequencies. This results in a fuller, deeper sound compared to single-ply heads, while the coated finish provides the necessary warmth and controlled sustain required for professional recording and live performance.

What Stands Out

Key Details

  • Construction: 2-ply design for increased strength and longevity.
  • Film Thickness: Dual layers of 7.5-mil film.
  • Finish: Coated surface for a warmer tone and brush-play capability.
  • Frequency Response: Enhanced mid and low-range frequencies.
  • Heritage: Authentic reissue of the original 1970s Emperor Coated head.
  • Durability: Maximum resistance to wear and tear, ideal for heavy hitters.
  • Tonal Profile: Deep, punchy response with controlled overtones.
  • Application: Specifically engineered for snare drums and tom-toms.
Best For

Use Cases

Heavy Rock and Classic Rock: Perfect for drummers seeking the authentic “vintage” punch and thickness associated with 70s arena rock recordings.

Studio Recording: The enhanced low-end and controlled mids make these heads easier to mix, providing a solid foundation for snare and tom tracks.

High-Impact Playing: Because of the 2-ply construction, these are ideal for players who strike their drums with significant force and need a head that won’t stretch or break prematurely.

Setup Notes

Installation

Ensure the drum shell bearing edge is clean and free of debris. Place the Remo Emperor Vintage Coated head onto the shell, ensuring it is centered perfectly. Insert the tension rods and tighten them in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to ensure even pressure across the bearing edge. Tune to your preferred tension, noting that the 2-ply construction may require slightly more tension to reach higher pitches compared to single-ply heads.

Compatibility Check

Compatibility

Compatible with any standard snare drum or tom-tom that matches the diameter of this specific head. Please verify your drum’s diameter before purchase to ensure a proper fit.
