Remo 06" Emperor Clear

Salut à toutes et tous ! J'ai commandé ces Emperor 6' pour équiper une série de 4 Octobans, auparavant montés en simple pli. Et je suis très content du résultat ! Si j'ai perdu quelques harmoniques, le sustain est quasi le même, le son est à la fois chaleureux et "percutant", et j'ai largement gagné en durabilité (absence de "bosses" en jouant "un peu" fort (!), maintien de l'accord). C'est un très bon compromis entre un simple pli et une peau de type "bain d'huile", qui plus est, dans ces petits diamètres. Colis arrivé "à l'heure", comme d'habitude chez Thomann, et tous les adhésifs de l'emballage ont été remplacés par des bandes de papier collant. What else ?

Hi everyone ! I ordered these Emperor 6' to equip a set of 4 Octobans, previously mounted in single ply. And I'm very happy with the result ! If I've lost a few harmonics, the sustain is almost the same, the sound is both warm and “punchy”, and I've largely gained in durability (absence of “bumps” when playing “a little” loud (!), chord maintenance). It's a very good compromise between a simple ply and an “oil bath” type skin, what's more, in these small diameters. Package arrived “on time”, as usual from Thomann, and all the adhesives on the packaging were replaced by strips of sticky paper. What else ?

Having used Ambassadors on octobans and small diameter toms for some years.... the attack and response i like to hear from single ply heads on such high pitched drums always seemed logical and satisfying....However...When ordering new heads for the toms on my Japanese Yamaha Oak custom [pre - Chinese 'live' series] I wanted to keep the attack and definition but lose some of the occasional pre EQ 'boing' i would get on the 13 and 14 from the current Evans G2's...I opted for the Remo Emperors in my configuration..8,10,12,13,14,16,18 and thought i would try the same for my 6" Tama concert tom for a uniformed sound across the kit. The drum itself is birch and 30 years old...I use it as part of my live/studio rig for a sonic dynamic across the range from an ear splitting 6", down to the ground shaking 18"... The Tama has developed a warmer punch retaining its definition and attack and requiring very little on the desk to get its voice across clearly...Perfect!
Thomman supplied at a better price than anywhere in the UK and as with every other item I've purchased from them was in stock.
