Questions & Answers

Would it be possible to get me drum heads for a full sized Gammon drum set for adults?

Please measure the size of the drumhead you want to replace before ordering. Products are available in sizes from 6" to 40", please specify the size of the drumhead you want to replace. Unless your measurement falls outside of the range provided, you should not be having a problem. I appreciate the opportunity to address you, Regards,

Would you mind giving me a tip on how to tune this snare head high?

Tighten the drummer's drum from opposite sides, two at a time, starting with the lugs. This is the most important part of drum tightening. After you are satisfied that you have the fingers as tight as you can get them, you can simply remove Next, start with one (and it doesn't matter which one you start with ), tighten the key for a half or quarter turn, and then go across to the opposite side and do the same for that one. Do the crisscross pattern with the same amount of turns on each lug all the way around. If you go around the head one time, tap the head to see exactly where you are. Once you've tuned the drum to the sound you want, you've almost got the sound you were built for. But you can tune it though any way you want to get the sound you want. It will be your drum and your sound, so experiment to find out what you like and what the drum likes. Because of that, drummers usually end up with a lot of different Snare drums. They like different sounds for various gigs, songs, or venues. When you get the starting tension down, the rest will be easy. I tune mine medium tight to where it's ringing pretty bad, and then I back off on two adjacent lugs until the ringing calms down to where I want it. In order to get the notes and cracks where I like them I tighten the rest. Usually only an eighth or sixteenth of a turn is needed to achieve what I'm looking for. The YouTube channel Tuning Vids has plenty of tuning videos. There are a lot of good ones out there. Rob Brown has the quick and easy, but there are a few others. The sound of a looser chord is fatter and that of a tighter chord, which is more prickly when you play loud guitar.

This looks like a snare batter, isn't it?

As for my snare, I use it on the batter side. When volume needs to be lighter, this is a good choice. Besides smooth emperors that love large toms, there is one that loves smooth emperors

Selected User Reviews For Remo Emperor Coated Drum Head - 14 Inch

I would like to thank Remo for his leadership That's all I have to say
5/5

Since I've been using Remo drumheads for over fifty years, I've discovered there's nothing better than an Emperor batter with an Ambassador snare side. There has been a dramatic change. I bought a new Pearl kit, which came with generic heads. I played them a little until my Remo's arrived, and the latter were 1000% better than the former. There is no need for tuning with Remo's. I could not give it higher than 5 stars because the scale doesn't go beyond that. Arrived on time, as always.

A thick layer
5/5

If heavy damped sounds are what you are after, this is the one. With its "thump thump", I found it too much for me. In my opinion, heavy hitters should be allowed. The second layer is made of a The difference between 5 million and 7 million is the increase. In between the layers of fabric, there should be 5 mil of coating and some oil or other substance. It's closer to the Vintage Ambassador only with a brighter tone.

If a crown or frown is present, you should pay attention
5/5

It's not a coincidence that I've seen that about 4 or 5 times now, so it's becoming a habit now. I have two drum kits and only use Remo heads. They work great every time. You can increase the durability even more by buying the Vintage Emperors - they have a thicker coating that will not wear off easily.

If the top ply breaks, you can still use the two-ply board
4/5

They are durable 2 ply, so I get them. Despite the top layer breaking, you can still play for some time. They sound good enough to tune easily and the price point is right. Plus, getting them at the store is quicker and less expensive than having them shipped We should be able to take advantage of bulk pricing.

A coating made from Remo Emperor
5/5

On a Gretsch 14x6 head, this is used at the batter head of a snare drum. The Catalina Maple measures 5" in diameter. There are two ply's on this head, making it quite durable and the coating, on the other hand, makes it even In my testing, I used the Emperor X, which includes a black dot, giving it an extra layer of durability, cheap single ply monocoque and Evans G1, which has a single-ply coated monocoque. A wide range of tunings are available In tuning it, I wanted it to sound like a metal ping. When it's equipped with an Aquarian snare side head, the sound is amazing. I have not received any complaints so far.

Ludwig made this for himself. On the box it should say this.
