The darkest-sounding and most durable of the classic WeatherKing series.
These heads use 2 free-floating plies of 7-mil film, which give them their consistent open tones and account for their popularity among many of today's top drummers. In 10", 12", 13", 14", or 16".

The coated emperor line of heads is one of the best heads i've played with to date. Deciding to switch from Evans to Remos, I have been highly impressed with the quality of sound and the ease of tuning these bad boys up. They seated great and have held their tone magnificently. Having no idea which line to go with, I looked at what some of my favorite drummers were using, and sure enough Chad Smith, Dave Grohl,Ilan Rubin and many others all chose emperors.

I have gone from single-ply heads to the slightly thinner Remo Pinstripe, and i am 100% satisfied with the Emporer for my snare. You can just feel the thickness of it when u hit the drum its incredible. And despite what the "experts" say i think that this is a suprisingly sensitive head. My ghost notes not only show up, but seem somewhat enhanced by this awesome head. I will never put another head on my snare besides Emporers.

Comments about Remo Emperor Coated Drum Head:
I've been on a drumhead odyssey the past two years, trying all brands & types of heads. I usually use Ambassadors on my snares. Emperors seem a bit too "hard" & have the feel of a countertop. However, playing in a somewhat funkier band, the Emperor is giving me a tighter, more articulate sound for extra fast single & double stroke rolls. They can help a mushy snare sound more articulate.

Comments about Remo Emperor Coated Drum Head:
Always reliable for consistent tone and durability.
Comments about Remo Emperor Coated Drum Head:
These heads are great for a warmer tone. The feature I like best is that like the ambassadors they are coated smooth white heads. So, if you'd like to try the tone between coated and clear, get the smooth whites. This gives them a punchier hit than the coated clears and they're two ply so they're built to last. That being said their main drawback is that they're shell specific. I first put them on a set of beginner veneer shells and it sounded like slapping paper bags. When I put them on maple shells they gave them the warm punchy tones that sounds fantastic when tuned up. This makes them a head for those who know how to tune properly. Those looking for something to transform their set look to something with built in muffling features. For the rest, tune them up right and they're awesome!
Comments about Remo Emperor Coated Drum Head:
These drumheads are great. I put these as batter heads on a cheap TKO set and when tuned right, they make my cheap drums sound awesome. On my 12" I have it moderately high, giving that drum a more articulate sound. On my 13", I have it tuned lower so that it sounds like a floor tom. The 16" also sounds great, and keeps up with the precision of the other heads. If you can, I highly recommend these as batter heads. Maybe someday I'll put Ambassadors at the bottom and get an even better sound...
Comments about Remo Emperor Coated Drum Head:
the coating comes off too fast.. and it has a wild over tone after the coating comes off.. im working with a studio drummer and he has just a plain tama 14/5.5 snare drum and i though this head would be great for this drum.. it is but like i said, when the coating comes off the over tone goes up.. my advice would be to only purchase this head if you have a ludwig superphoinc snare drum.. other than that do not purchase this head..
Comments about Remo Emperor Coated Drum Head:
I got this on my snare and it is amazing. Get this head.
Comments about Remo Emperor Coated Drum Head:
I purchased a set for my Tama SCP set. The heads had a poor tuning range and a miserable ring. I have used Evans for years but thought I would give Remo a shot. What a pain. I tune mid tension, above the low rock tuning but below bop. These heads just fought me the entire time. I found only 1 tuning that sounded ok, even after a break in period they still had a poor range. Just get Evans G2's and leave these heads alone.
