Remo 20" Emperor SMT Clear Bass Drum Head

The Remo 20" Emperor SMT Clear Bass Drumhead is a powerhouse of punch, control, and durability—perfect for drummers who need a head that can go the distance, deliver thunderous lows, and still sound tight and tidy in the mix. Designed with Remo’s smart Sub Muffl® Technology, this head comes pre-muffled with an integrated external dampening ring and floating foam, eliminating the need for extra gels, pillows, or duct tape wizardry.

This one's built for strength and sustain. The dual-ply construction—featuring a 7-mil and 5-mil clear film—brings out a rich, warm tone with added thickness for durability. That extra ply means it can take heavier playing while still responding dynamically, making it an absolute gem for gigging drummers, rockers, or anyone who gives their kick a proper workout.

Tonally, the Emperor SMT is bold but controlled. You get that lovely coated warmth with a bit more presence and body than a single-ply head. Combine that with the internal muffling and what you’ve got is a drumhead that thumps with authority but never booms uncontrollably. It stays focused, articulate, and dependable—even under fire.

Here at Musicmaker, we’ve seen drummers get serious mileage out of these heads—whether they’re on tour, in the studio, or just holding down the pocket at their local open mic night. This 20" version in particular is a sweet spot for those running smaller or jazz-oriented kits who still want that mix-ready clarity.
