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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis head is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003ebeginner to advanced drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe choice of a \u003cstrong\u003edouble ply\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn an 18-inch floor tom, a double ply head with a smooth white finish delivers a \u003cstrong\u003ethicker and more controlled sound\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared 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 \u003cstrong\u003ea bit warmer\u003c\/strong\u003e and less bright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eTom\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHead finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSmooth\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShaping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eTwin Ply\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e18 \u0026quot;\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003etom head\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003edouble ply\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003esmooth\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntended for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e18-inch floor tom\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended styles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003erock, pop, funk, amplified music\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Remo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360098668819,"sku":"89228","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/80c091d08fa09de0b2aa88b9635691a42f602754_EMD_3766_f7d3d1ae-2639-40e1-8256-9f1d489c7f7f.jpg?v=1787378385","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/remo-be-0218-00-emperor-smooth-white-18-89228","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
