Who Uses Emperor Clear?
Remo names hard rock, funk and R and B drummers as the core audience. The two-ply clear construction gives attack and projection with enough durability for consistently heavy playing.
Emperor Clear or Pinstripe, Which Is More Controlled?
Pinstripe. Both are two-ply, but Pinstripe adds an overtone-reducing agent between the plies, so it is noticeably more damped with a shorter sustain. Emperor Clear stays more open and resonant.
What Sizes Does It Come In?
Remo lists Emperor Clear from 6 through 40 inches. The sizes stocked here cover the standard rack tom, floor tom and snare range.
Why Remo
Remo has made drumheads in the United States since 1957, when Remo Belli replaced calfskin with Mylar and ended the problem that had defined drumming until then: a head that changed pitch with the weather. Every major head design since has come out of that company, and the Ambassador remains the most widely used drumhead in the world. Remo also builds world percussion, marching heads and the Acousticon shells used across its drum circle range.
