Remo's original Weatherking drumheads have set the industry standard. Remo was the first to use Mylar®*, a polyester film made by DuPont, to create drumheads that were unusually durable, inexpensive, and weather-resistant, all the while providing previously unattainable pitch, tone and consistency. Their full rich, tones have made these classic heads the drumhead standard since their 1957 introduction. The three original Weatherking drumheads are Diplomat™, Ambassador™, and Emperor™.
Clear Emperor® heads are made with two free-floating plies of 7-mil Mylar®, making them the brightest sounding multi-ply heads and most durable of the classic clear WeatherKing® series.
