Best Remo 12" Emperor X Coated Dot Alternatives

Based on 4 reviews

I use a 12" Gretsch snare as an auxiliary but I didn't like the stock head. I just wasn't happy with the sound I got no matter how it was tuned. I don't like too much overtone so after reading the positive reviews I opted for the Genera head. This head removes the need for damping with a sharp attack with no overtone. I just loved the difference it makes. I also put a Genera on my 13" Mapex steel snare. Love the sound and highly recommended.

I typically use Remo Ambassador for snare drum, however, for 12" inch snare, I tried this one. As I tune 12" snare quite high, the black dot in the middle helps to focus the sound and removes unwanted overtones. Just to complete the picture, I have used this head in combination with S-hoop drum hoop.

Am using this product with sonor signature heavy bubinga rig and am finding with the 12 tom that its very good for dub/d&b/jungle as it has quite a fast decay. To add additional dampening am using the muffler that came with the hld81 snare. This head is a good piece of kit :D

i hadn't tried a single ply on the snare for a few years so tried this out. it was a bit tricky to tune. its very resonant but also fairly low volume. im not a heavy hitter but i seem to get more out of 2-ply heads. it does sound good though, im playing mostly pop funk and rock.
