All user reviews for the Remo Emperor X Coated Drumhead

I discovered the Remo Emperor X back in 2003. They were gifted to me after winning a prize with my band. I was super impressed of how huge this head could make my snare sound.

You can find this skin in market for a price around $20. Definitely money well spent, since this last for a very long time.

Punch, I guess that’s what best describes this head, and also the reason why I love it. This might not be the right kind of skin if you are not a hard rock heavy hitter type of drummer, but I still like how even when you play articulated drum patterns, this skin is just full of definition and power. They make any snare sound huge and because of its thick construction you can get a wet yet musical snare sound even when tuned low. The Emperor X matches really well with Remo Pinstripes on toms and Powerstroke on the kick.

If you like more resonant and ringing snares, this skin is not your cup of tea.

This is the thickest drum head made by Remo, two 10-mil free-floating plies of Mylar film, with a 5-mil reverse black dot, giving consistent focus warm tones.

For the heavy-hitter drummer, a lot of punch, power and definition.

Sony’s MDR-7506 are a set of professional level recording studio headphones. Sony has a ton of different headphones to choose from on all levels, and the MDR series of headphones are probably their most popular. The MDR-7506’s in particular are a great set of headphones. They’ve got large diaphragm speakers and are great for variety of applications. I’ve used these headphones for monitoring during recording and nothing else so far. We’ve got a pair of them on hand at the studio where I work and they’re pretty much constantly being used. I haven’t used them for mixing or anything like that, as I never mix with headphones and wouldn’t recommend that you do either. However, these headphones are good enough for checking mixes on for sure. It’s always good to get as many different perspectives as possible for a mix, and these are definitely adequate for that sort of use even though I haven’t had a chance to do so myself. As far as using these for monitoring during recording, they are basically the perfect set of headphones. They have a great frequency response across the board, especially on the low end, which is rare for a set of headphones. They have a crisp high end as well, presenting an overall accurate picture of the sound you send to them. They are definitely more than reasonably priced, as you’re getting a great set of headphones for less than $100 USD. There are definitely a ton of different headphones out there that are worthy of being checked out in this price range, including the Sennheiser HD 280 Pros which are a favorite of mine, as well as other high end Sony headphones in the MDR series, but definitely make it a point to have the MDR-7506’s on your list of headphones to check out as well. Highly, highly recommended for those looking for an overall great sounding set of professional studio headphones.
