Textured Tone with a Smooth Suede Look

Remo's Emperor Black Suede drumheads offer something unusual: a matte black aesthetic with a soft feel and warm tones to match. Featuring two 7.5-mil plies for extra durability — one textured ebony and one clear — the Emperor Black Suede drumheads give back a warm attack with a wide frequency range that will stand out in the mix. Sweetwater's pop, rock, funk, and R&B drummers have found the Remo Emperor Black Suede drumheads ideal for harder-hitting styles of play.

  • Textured ebony outer ply has a unique matte black appearance with corresponding softer feel
  • Wide-ranging frequency response with a warm attack
  • Ideal for rock, pop, funk, and R&B genres where durability is a critical factor

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Honestly, they're great for reso heads.

I've got them on my 12", 13", and 16" toms' resos, and I use P4 Coateds for the batters. Talk about vintage punch! I use these over normal coated emperors purely for aesthetic reasons; I like the white on my side, and black on whatever a viewer can manage to see. Other than that, I like that it's two ply coated for the reso.
