 One of the best heads out there Jan 25, 2007
By R. Gianfrancesco
"Emo713dude"
This snare drum head is super thick, as well as super durable. In fact, it has TWO 10mm Mylar film, where as most heads are made with one. plus the second film has a 5' Black Dot attached to reduce ringyness.
this head is used by many professional drummers, including Travis Barker.
it is great for hard hitters and can get supertight.
i hope this helps

 not a big fan Mar 01, 2012

"ThatDrummerKid"
i was rather disappointed when i first hit this head,i like the fact that its durable but i seems as if the thickness of the head dampens its sound an awful lot,it may just be my tuning but im currently not a fan,i bought this head with the remo emperor tom heads, the tom heads are awesome i love their sound but the snare was an utter disappointment

Great sounding HEAD Oct 03, 2011
By muttonchops
"Fortune Favors the Brave"
1. Very durable. I really hammer the snare when I play and this is super durable. No problems there.
2. GREAT sound. makes any snare sound FULLER and with more PRESENCE.
3. Can be tuned HIGH. That's one of the best things about it. You can really tune it up. I have mine tuned up to a C. John Bonham style. Check youtube for the video on what that is. Search Bonham+snare+tuning.
Coated heads are the way to go.
I'll be changing all the heads on my kit to coated.

Great Sound and Durability Sep 12, 2011
By djdb
I bought two of these to replace the batter heads on two different snare drums. One went on a Percussion Plus 8-lug wood snare and the other on a vintage Ludwig 8-lug wood snare with internal muffler. Now I know the Ludwig is worth at least 3x as much as the Percussion Plus, but with this head and correct tuning, you would be hard pressed to tell which is which, as they both sound amazing. I play with brushes a lot, and the pop you can get with this head is perfect. With sticks, I can get the snare to really sing out and take center stage. With the two layered design, I don't have to worry about replacing this head anytime soon.
I am using O-rings as well as a little piece of paper towel taped with masking tape to the batter head. I feel it helps reduce the unwanted vibrations produced by the snare drum.
Please note, it is crucial to tune your snare drum correctly. That means the resonant head must be tuned before the batter head. I am using the stock resonant heads on both snares, and they do just fine. If you are using a snare drum with less than 8-lugs, I would suggest upgrading your drum.
The X must stand for Xcellence... May 02, 2012
By Mark F. Mckillip
"Metal Drummer"
I've been drumming for almost 20 years now, and while I've had some snare heads I really like I think it's safe to say this is my favorite one. Why? Ok, I guess I'll tell you. The Emperor X is thicker than any snare head I've used. That creates a big sound and it's great when you get it right where you want it, and this tough head is tough to break. When I'm drumming live (3 hrs a night of Heavy Metal/Hard Rock drumming) I tend to get excited and hit hard. I'm sore for a couple of days after a show even, but it doesn't phase this head. Also, when I'm working on my own thing I drum to all types of Metal (Death, Black, Thrash, etc...), Grindcore and Hardcore Punk (think early to mid '80s English/Scottish/Swedish Punk) for the most part. With my taste of drumming and music I've come to realize I don't like the sound of new heads (or cymbals), so if I get a head that holds up for along time and sounds great I usually stick with it. This head after a couple of weeks of use until I change it (usually 2 weeks before a live show) sounds awesome and it holds up to my abuse for along time. The price is great, too.
