Key Features for Art and Sound

The PE-0014-AB-005 drumhead is engineered to offer both exceptional aesthetics and professional-grade sound quality:

• Two-Ply 7mil Mylar Film Construction: The head is constructed with two plies of 7mil clear Mylar film, giving it a total thickness of 14mil.3 This dual-ply design, the same as a standard Remo Emperor, provides enhanced durability, a fat, full-bodied tone, and maximum projection, making it suitable for a wide range of drumming applications.4

• Skyndeep Graphic Imaging Technology: The “Nocturnal Bloom” artwork by Aric Improta is applied using Remo’s proprietary Skyndeep Graphic Imaging Technology.5 This process embeds the art into the drumhead’s film, ensuring that the image will not chip, crack, or peel, even with aggressive playing. It also ensures the art does not negatively impact the head’s sonic performance, allowing the natural sound of the Emperor head to shine through.

• Full Open Tones: Despite the graphic, this drumhead maintains the full, open tones characteristic of a clear Emperor head.6 It provides a strong attack with a controlled sustain, making it a versatile choice for a variety of musical genres.

• Ideal for a Wide Range of Applications: The combination of durability, projection, and controlled tone makes this head suitable for use as a batter head for snare drums and toms.7 Its striking visual appeal also makes it a great choice for drummers who want to customize the look of their kit for live performances and photoshoots.

• Artwork by Aric Improta: The drumhead features original artwork by Aric Improta, known for his drumming with bands like Fever 333 and Night Verses, as well as his impressive artistic talents.8 The “Nocturnal Bloom” design is part of a larger collection of his work featured on Remo drumheads.9

• Manufacturing Distinction: This drumhead is manufactured in Remo’s facility in the USA, adhering to the same high standards as their other professional-grade Emperor heads.10

The Remo Artbeat Nocturnal Bloom Artist Collection 14″ Drumhead (PE-0014-AB-005) is a perfect blend of professional sound and personal expression, offering the durable, full-bodied tone of a Remo Emperor with a unique and eye-catching visual design.
