The Vintage uses two plies of 7.5-mil film against the standard Emperor’s 7-mil. The thicker film pushes the mid and low range forward and increases durability, reproducing the original 1970s specification rather than the current one.
Fuller in the mids and lows than a current Emperor, with a shorter, fatter decay. It is the sound most people associate with 1970s rock records.
No. It fits any standard drum of the right diameter. The name refers to the head specification, not to the drum it goes on.
Remo has made drumheads in the United States since 1957, when Remo Belli replaced calfskin with Mylar and ended the problem that had defined drumming until then: a head that changed pitch with the weather. Every major head design since has come out of that company, and the Ambassador remains the most widely used drumhead in the world. Remo also builds world percussion, marching heads and the Acousticon shells used across its drum circle range.
