I had never tried Remo's Emperor clear bass drum heads before, I have always used Evans Emad, however I wanted to try a cheaper alternative, and so i tried this Emperor.
I am a working drummer, playing 2 to 3 times a week, in the usual pubs and clubs, I usually have a microphone on my bass drum, here is what I thought of the head:
The head itself was up to Remo's usual quality, and I had no issues with the durability of the head, however the sound was not exactly what I was after for my bass drum. This head, didn't give me the low punch you want from the bass drum. Perhaps this head would suit more of a jazzy player, as apposed to one that wants a deep thud from the bass drum.
