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.
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
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.
