Remo PP-1420-BE Emperor Clear Tom Drumhead Pack - 10", 12" & 16"

I order these prepacks whenever I see a deal, especially prior to studio recording sessions. The Remo Emperor clear tom head has been my go-to tom head for well over 20 years now. Great durability and good tone. For Rock, Metal, or funk players, this head has a good amount of body, sufficient clarity (depending on shell), and maintains its tuning (even in changing room levels).Substitution - if this head isn't available, try the Evans G2 clear as well. Both maintain good quality and will get the player to excel from the source tonally while in studio or on stage.

Delivered as described

As a drummer for well over 25 years I have tried a variety of heads such as Remo, Aquarian, and Evans. I always come back to these Remo Pinstripe heads, They always deliver the sound I want from my Toms. Every drummer is different and has specific sounds they are going for. I personally like my Toms darker sounding with just the right balance of 'thud' and resonance... not too much of either, so I also use moongels and possibly even a piece of duct tape. I play mainly tom-heavy rock styles, so this is the perspective I'm coming from. Jazz drummers especially will probably go with a much brighter sound but for me, these pinstripes do the trick EVERY TIME. Remember, your choice of resonant head (the drumhead on the bottom...the one you DON'T hit with the stick...) counts for a lot as does your tuning of both top and bottom head. A surprisingly good choice for me was the Remo Ebony resonant (Not pinstripes) head combined with these clear pinstripes on top. The combo looks and sounds great on my kit, and will be my go-to for many years to come, if not always. (You never know, sometimes every drummer gets an experimental bug and tries different heads and tricks to get a different sound.) After replacing my old heads with these (I experimented with Remo Ebony Pinstripes on top, and the non-pinstripe Ebony heads on bottom) but now the sound is perfect with these clear pinstripes and a few moongels. If you don't want to try moongels, (search Amazon for them, they aren't expensive at all) a bit of duct tape is the good old standby. (Yes, duct tape is ugly, but it does work in a pinch, and quite well if you need to muffle/dampen the ring out of your drums. use sparingly.)Anyway, if you're a new or beginning drummer, start with pinstripes. Not for snare though, we are just talking tom toms.If you're an experienced drummer, you've probably tried these already and made up your mind if they are right for you or not. Happy Drumming to anyone in the drumming community, no matter your style or level of experience or skill. Keep playing, it's a great and healthy addiction.

the right product at a good price!

Good value nice product

Sound great! Easy install, you will love them. Glad Amazon had these on this site!

Great heads for the price A++++++

It's a standard drum head at it's best. Nothing special about it but it's made well, solid built, produces great sound, and lasts longer than you would expect a single ply head to last.With these drum heads (ambassadors) you can really hear the tone of the drum clearly. This is very cool because it adds so much musicality to the drum set and the pitch is nice and clear and sounds really great! The downside of this is that these drum heads are not easy to tune WELL. You can twist the rods around and tune it and get some pitch out of it, but to get the best sound out of these drum heads you need a drum dial or an awesome drum tuner because to get each pitch nicely out of the drum so it sounds perfect as you play around the kit. I'm horrible at tuning though so this may not be as much of a challenge for you. If it is a challenge, try going for a double ply head like the powerstroke or emperors.Hope this helped!
