Remo has added a new snare head that is expected to rule the market for the heaviest snare hitters. The Emperor X is the thickest snare head ever made by Remo. This 14in head weighs in using two 10mil plies of Ambassador weight film bonded with a virtually indestructible 5mil Black Dot on top and then the head is coated. The Emperor X was changed into a production item after more and more artists began ordering them as custom heads. Mike Fasano (Warrant) who was the first to create the buzz about the new 20mil head, loved the idea of a snare head with this much attitude. He in turn got John Tempesta (Rob Zombie) and Matt Sorum (The Cult), Tre Cool (Green Day) and Travis Barker (Blink 182) hooked on the new head too, and the list continues to grow.
