The Remo Emperor Coated 16" Drum Head has become a benchmark for drummers seeking a fuller, more controlled sound without sacrificing responsiveness.
Constructed from two plies of 7-mil coated film, the Emperor Coated delivers the warmth, projection and durability that have made it one of the most widely used drumheads in modern drumming. The coated surface adds a smooth, musical attack while helping control excessive overtones, making it a popular choice for floor toms across a wide range of musical styles.
Whether you're building a punchy rock setup, tuning for worship, recording in the studio or looking for a dependable all-round replacement head, the Emperor Coated consistently delivers balanced and reliable performance.
The 16" floor tom often provides the foundation of a drum kit's overall sound, and the Emperor Coated is particularly well suited to that role.
Its dual-ply construction helps produce a deep, focused tone with plenty of body, while the coated finish softens the attack and adds warmth to the drum's natural voice. The result is a floor tom sound that feels powerful and musical without becoming overly ringy or difficult to control.
Many drummers choose Emperor Coated heads because they offer a practical balance between durability and tone. They can handle regular rehearsals and live performances while retaining the open, musical character that makes a drum kit enjoyable to play.
For players looking for a versatile floor tom head with proven performance across virtually every style of music, the Emperor Coated remains one of the industry's most trusted choices.
