FAQ
What is the difference between the Emperor X and the Powerstroke X?
Emperor X Drumheads have more open properties than Powerstroke X. Powerstroke X heads are easy to tune because they are manufactured with a 2 mil inlay ring for overtone control. Emperor X heads are the most durable Mylar heads on the market. Both heads feature extreme durability but have different overtone characteristics.

Tuning your drum set drums involves evenly tightening the batter and resonant heads to achieve balanced tone and desired sustain. A resonant head tuned slightly higher than the batter head creates clearer overtones and a more focused sound across your kit.
Batter drumheads are the ones you strike and are available in different thicknesses and features to match your desired sound and playing style. Resonant drumheads, found on the bottom of the drum, enhance tone and sustain, with thinner versions used for greater sensitivity, especially on snare drums. Choosing the right drumhead depends on the drum type and the sound you want to achieve.
