Description

The Remo Emperor SMT Clear Bass Drum Head is built for power and precision. Featuring two plies of 7mil clear film, it delivers the full, aggressive tone that drummers rely on in high-volume settings—while the SMT (Sound Maximizing Technology) muffling ring ensures controlled resonance and tighter decay.

Ideal for rock, pop, and heavier playing styles, this head produces a strong attack and deep low-end punch, with minimal unwanted overtones. The SMT ring offers subtle built-in dampening that keeps your tone focused and clean, without sacrificing the open feel of a clear head.

Whether you’re on stage or in the studio, this head gives your bass drum the presence it needs to cut through the mix—without the hassle of extra muffling gear.

Why Choose the Remo Emperor SMT Clear Bass Drum Head:

  • Dual-ply design offers strength and tone for louder playing

  • Built-in SMT ring reduces overtones for a tight, punchy sound

  • Clear finish provides sharp attack and modern edge

  • Perfect for players who want power and control combined

  • Trusted Remo build quality with enhanced tone shaping
