Always used this head for my piccolo snare and i just love the overtones, it has a great range and it's a classic. Also has a strong attack but if you don't like the overtones just use some moongel and it's all good. Very durable cause of double ply and suitable for any style.

put it on a luddy 400 or 402 , or any metal snare , tune the bottom to tunebot 400 hz and the top to tune bot 300 hz and revel in the feel and sound . durable and punchy , its a great head. on 14 tom it does sound a little dull and thick , needs to be tuned up tighter than most.

A real work-horse!

The Remo Emperor coated snare head has to be one of the most versatile drum heads on the market. It can handle all kinds of tunings and the double ply construction removes just enough overtone while still allowing some natural 'ring' and makes the head really durable.
I have been gigged the same drum head for about a year in the past, and it still sounded great.
I'd recommend this drum head for anyone looking for a durable, workhorse drum head, especially new drummers who are looking to change a stock snare drum head to get a better sound. Go for it.

My favourite dumhead!

I used to use coated emperors for pretty much everything! But I've come to accept that they just aren't suitable for live playing. They don't have the same durability and reliability of tuning as some of the competitor's products, particularly in the Evans line. So they have been replaced as my live head of choice for most applications. Having said that though, they are still my favourite drumhead, particularly for jazz and swing. Yes, they are double ply heads and are a little bit heavier than most people like to use for jazz playing. But I love the tonal qualities of these heads, both on snare, kick and toms. They have a really warm and dark tone with lovely sustain and great attack for accents. Really beautiful drumhead. I don't use them live any more, but I won't use anything else in the studio!
