In 1957, Remo Belli invented the first successful synthetic Mylar drumheads, today's industry standard. Six decades on, drummers the world over rely on the tone response and durability of Remo drumheads. Remo Clear Emperor drumheads are made with two free-floating plies of 7-mil Mylar, making them the brightest sounding multi-ply drum heads and most durable of the classic clear WeatherKing series drumheads. Clear drumheads are best known as batter and reasonant drum heads which open up the sound of tom-toms and bass drums.
