Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Emperor series is a classic among tom heads focused on durability and control. It is generally positioned as a thicker and more stable option than a single ply head, designed to withstand heavy hits while maintaining a musical response.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This head is aimed at beginner to advanced drummers who want an easy-to-tune 18-inch floor tom with a consistent sound for rehearsals, studio, and live performances. It is particularly suitable for medium to low tunings in rock, pop, funk, blues, and contexts where a solid and controlled low end is desired.
Features and Innovations
The choice of a double ply construction provides a firmer feel and better tuning stability, while naturally limiting certain harmonics. The smooth white finish promotes a consistent touch and a "rounder" sound compared to a clear head, without necessarily requiring damping accessories.
Sound Characteristics
On an 18-inch floor tom, a double ply head with a smooth white finish delivers a thicker and more controlled sound, with a slightly softened attack and even projection. The result emphasizes the low end, with a more contained sustain, helping to achieve a clear low frequency in a mix.
Compared to a single ply head, it better handles powerful strikes and lower tunings while maintaining a consistent response. Compared to a clear head, the smooth white version tends to sound a bit warmer and less bright.
