This one will be the reference on TH-cam. Unbelievable, how much work you put into this: 32 different drum heads x 4 Toms x 3 Tunings = 384 times changing a drum head!! 😳 You changed more drum heads for one video than some drummers do in their whole career. Mindblowing. Thanks ever so much!
Yes!!!! Finally the best tom head comparison out there…no cymbals crashing no snare drum hits no bass drum hits. Pure tom head hits. Perfect and thank you so much this. Still my top favorite is the Emperor Coated.
This is definitely THE REMO COMPLETE DRUM HEAD CATALOG REVIEW VIDEO. All you need to hear right off the bat. It's PERFECT. Must've been so tedious & and time-consuming to make. Thank you for making this video, it's very highly appreciated.
For open tones I prefer the Ambassador Coated and black suede, for shorter sustain I prefered the pinstripe clear, they have a good balance. I was very surprised about how dead the Powerstroke 4 sounded, huge contrast with the ambassador playing before. Thanks for saving us time and money AOD !
Wow, that's quite an undertaking to change out and re-tune all of those heads...and match them so perfectly. While the different heads do have unique sounds, it's ironic how similar they sound.
The amount of work that went into this is insane. Much appreciated. Never seen a video with that level of tuning consistency, even across three tuning ranges. Great job!
This is a great demo, and very helpful to anyone shopping for new heads Drumheads are very pricey and this kind of preview goes a long way into taking the guesswork out of choosing the *right* heads for someone’s needs, without wasting money on the wrong ones. To take this concept further, I’d love to see a demo comparing similarly-constructed heads from different manufacturers i.e. Remo clear Emperors with Evans clear G2 heads, Aquarian Response 2 clear, etc., at various tunings. Thanks for this!
Absolutely amazing Job! That's exactly what every drummer wants! a full, no joke comparison, with nothing else than the drums it self, extremely helpful! Thanks so much for take the time to do this! This is truly the Ultimate Tom drum head comparison for sure!!!
Those black suede emps in medium and low were to die for! Also the regular emps clear and coated were fab as well. It shows that with good tuning you can achieve a dry, full sound and can control it from there if needs be
What and incredible video... Major salute to the amount of time, energy, and money spent to do this. It's incredible how much head choice makes a HUGE difference at the mid to lower tunings. That said, if you used a Tune-bot (or something similar) I'd love to know the settings you got at those lower settings. That kit sounded beautiful at those tunings. And, I never knew that Remo made a coated Diplomat. Incredibly well done.👍
This actually confirms I'm very happy with my current set-up: an Emperor Suede on the snaredrum (no white coating residue on the toms and cymbals but very similar sound, love the Suedes) amd clear Emperors on the toms. Can't go wrong there. Thanks for all the hard work!
I really love the ebony emperor suede heads! Powerstroke 4 coated for a really controlled sound and clear Pinstripes are timeless. I wanna love the Coated Vintage emperors but the Ebony suede are my favorite.
Thanks for all your hard work putting this together. This really helps all out here and saves us time and money. You guys are awesome! Given your prior videos, I believe you might also do the same with Evans heads. If I may kindly make a suggestion, if you could use the same kit and tuning so we can do a true A/B comparison, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!
It was hard to tell because there were so many options, but I think I like both the ambassadors and the emperors in medium and low tunings and in the suede and coated finishes. I also thought the ambassador vintage an emperor vintage sounded good in the low tunings. The ambassador fiberskin had a cool tone as well.
This makes me wanna try a weird combo, like Renaissance emperors over top of Renaissance ambassador resonant side. Medium tuning so as not to kill the resonance, but the double Renaissance would provide a weird fuzzy diffusion of the sound, kinda pillowy yet defined attack.

sad cause its true:D
It's mindblowing how you achieved the same tuning for every tom and head, mad work and patience 🤯

Same!! 🙏 Thank you!
only 2 minutes in, already the best head to head comparison on youtube!

Amazingly comprehensive comparison. Remo, needs to use this as advertisement, and compensate you for this amount of work.
Tremendous amount of work to pull this off! Thanks and Blessings!
Wow, that's quite an undertaking to change out and re-tune all of those heads...and match them so perfectly. While the different heads do have unique sounds, it's ironic how similar they sound.
The amount of work that went into this is insane. Much appreciated. Never seen a video with that level of tuning consistency, even across three tuning ranges. Great job!
An exhaustive (and exhausting) comparison. Amazing. I kind of burned out half way through, but I saved it to re-watch later.
This is a great demo, and very helpful to anyone shopping for new heads

Absolutely amazing Job! That's exactly what every drummer wants! a full, no joke comparison, with nothing else than the drums it self, extremely helpful! Thanks so much for take the time to do this! This is truly the Ultimate Tom drum head comparison for sure!!!
That was a lot of work and took forever to film. Much appreciated!
poor pascal! thank you for the effort, best drum channel out there
They dedicated their whole lives to compare tom heads :)
Best tom head comparison I've seen on TH-cam by far. Amazing job AoD! I'd like to watch a similar video with Evans tom heads.
prob the best comparison video out there, thank you
Amazing video! Im going to make my daughter watch it if she doesnt do her chores! LOL
Wow…talk about dedication to your craft. On behalf of the brotherhood of drummers, thanks for doing this..
Thanks for putting this very thorough video together!
Glad it was helpful!
Danke!
Wonderful! Let the drums do ALL the talking. And thanks so much for the astounding amount of work you guys put in. Now EVANS?
You bet!
Those black suede emps in medium and low were to die for!
Also the regular emps clear and coated were fab as well. It shows that with good tuning you can achieve a dry, full sound and can control it from there if needs be
EEEEndlich nen vernünftiges Vergleichsvideo ohne viel Schnick-Schnack, Respekt💪🔥
Thank you so much for putting this together! This is the video I’ve been wishing for a decade now. Subscribed and liked! 🎉🎉
My choice,.. low tuning
Rack tom, coated ambassador x
Floor tom, coated powerstroke 3
Credit to you for the video, TQ
This deserves a grammy! The amount of work you put in to remind us all that coated emperors sound the best is astonishing!
It does!
Wow! This is great! ❤
Thanks a lot!
You're welcome 😊
Appreciate this! Gonna be referring back to it often. If you get time to do Evans I wouldn’t be mad either 😜
For it’s the power strike 3 or power stroke 4. Heads. Great comparison video. 😊
It's amazing how Remo offers every head for every genre. Now do Evans and Aquarian next!
So how will they sound like with a 12-13-16 configuration?
Thank you for this! Powerstroke 4 coated sounds best to my ears and has a tone I’m looking for
Great video, and really really helpful, thank you so much for this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loving the Ambassador X! SOLD!
What and incredible video... Major salute to the amount of time, energy, and money spent to do this. It's incredible how much head choice makes a HUGE difference at the mid to lower tunings. That said, if you used a Tune-bot (or something similar) I'd love to know the settings you got at those lower settings. That kit sounded beautiful at those tunings. And, I never knew that Remo made a coated Diplomat. Incredibly well done.👍
They all sound great! I could use just about any head and be totally satisfied 😊
Absolutely incredible. Thanks for your time and effort. You are the best drum channel on YT.
This actually confirms I'm very happy with my current set-up: an Emperor Suede on the snaredrum (no white coating residue on the toms and cymbals but very similar sound, love the Suedes) amd clear Emperors on the toms. Can't go wrong there. Thanks for all the hard work!
Love it. I am currently using Emperor Clear skins, but I thin I will try Emperor Black Suede after hearing this. Great job again, thank you!!!
Thank you so much to made this for us 🙌🏼
I'm been using remo pinstripes clear since 1977
Cheers Remo!!!❤🥁
What do you use on the resonant side?
Great work..Thanks so much for this video presentation.
I really love the ebony emperor suede heads! Powerstroke 4 coated for a really controlled sound and clear Pinstripes are timeless. I wanna love the Coated Vintage emperors but the Ebony suede are my favorite.
Right on!
Thanks for sharing this with us! As someone who uses Evans, I really appreciate this video for comparison.
I needed this 10 months ago, still watching it ofc, and it's amazing
Great Video!
Did you tune the Toms to a certain pitch? Could you share the Frequencies?
Wow the best comparison out there!! amazing job! thank in advance!!
Thank you for this!
Glad it was helpful!
Very good comparison !!!
They all sound good
This showed me how good the Renaissance heads are and reminded me how much I loved the ebony pinstripes
Thank you. Would love to see you perform this outstanding comparison with Evans and Aquarian heads as well
What resonant heads were used on the bottom of the tom-toms during this presentation?
Ambassador Clear
@@ArtOfDrumming Thank you.
Excellent tuning consistency. Pinstripe clears are still my Remo head of choice for general application, and I also like the colortones.
Thank you for this, you worked so hard.
Amazing video. What heads did you use on the bottoms?
They really almost all sound alike
Wow, that’s a lot of work! Nice job. I use Evans hydraulic, though. I found those in high school and never went to anything else.
Super impressive video🤟🏼🥁
When I was using Remo I used coated Ambassador X over coated Ambassadors....amazing, rich, warm tone but still kept the character of each Tom!
Great video 🔥
It's really ultimate. THank you guys!!!
Awesome head comparison video. 💪
Very cool comparison man. It will come in handy for my next head switch. I just recently went with Emperor clear.
Gotta love Emperor Clears.
This is exactly what we drummers needed!!❤
Thanks for all your hard work putting this together. This really helps all out here and saves us time and money. You guys are awesome!
Given your prior videos, I believe you might also do the same with Evans heads. If I may kindly make a suggestion, if you could use the same kit and tuning so we can do a true A/B comparison, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!
Glad to help!
For some reason, the 14" tom is always good, whatever the skin and tuning is.
It was hard to tell because there were so many options, but I think I like both the ambassadors and the emperors in medium and low tunings and in the suede and coated finishes. I also thought the ambassador vintage an emperor vintage sounded good in the low tunings. The ambassador fiberskin had a cool tone as well.
great video !! great effort !!! thrankx
THANK YOU!!!!
Those Ebony for the low tuning was 🔥 The floor toms didn't fart out.
Mega Respekt vor der Arbeit!! Pinstripe clear sind aber Encore, oder?! ;-)
Amazing comparison!
Emperor clear and PS 3 clear the best for me
Amazing video! Great work!! How long did this take to film/edit?
Coated ambassador x is my fave, then clear pinstripe, then coated emperor.
This makes me wanna try a weird combo, like Renaissance emperors over top of Renaissance ambassador resonant side. Medium tuning so as not to kill the resonance, but the double Renaissance would provide a weird fuzzy diffusion of the sound, kinda pillowy yet defined attack.
Excellent!!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This further confermed my suspicion that thinner heads work best on smaller toms and thicker heads work best on bigger toms
Ambassador White Suede, Low Tuning ftw (what I've been running for several years already)
I really liked it too. Good alternative to the classic Ambassador coated.
What's the difference between this one and the regular Ambassador coated?
@@elcrackengaitos_bs4804 they are almost identical but I don't think they are going to sound the same with brushes since the texture is different.
@@elcrackengaitos_bs4804 Less muted, more open, and doesn't change sound or appearance when the coating wears off, as it's etched instead for texture.
11:16 ambas coated
11:25 ambas clear
13:51 emperor coated
14:00 emperor clear
Emperor Black Suedes are my absolute favorites. Currently using the Ebonys for trying. But EBS Med and Low are insanly good in my ears
I like the emperor black suede.Thank you very much.See you in the next video.
Great work! Those high-tuned clear Diplomats sound like coffee cans. The three tunings really helps.
Great job. Clear emperor for me.
Thanks!
Great, much needed video! Please do it for Evans as well!
Incredible video. Thanks a lot! Would like to see an Evans version next!
Emperor Vintage clear!! Thank you!!
You're so welcome!
Yes
Though they all sounds relatively similar, I still like the clasics. Ambassador, Emperor, and PinStripe, coated, clear, and ebony.
My favorite is ambassador coated.😊
Great content!
Diplomat Fibrskyns for all three tunings!
they all sound pretty much the same, haha. Thanks for sharing guys!
What frequencies did you tune the toms for the low tuning? Awesome video, guys!
Did you use a Tunebot to get the tuning consistency? If so, could you share settings? Great video!!
I will try 8" and 12" powerstroke 3 coated low, snare 12" cs ambassador middle or high
Finally, someone did this!!!
Powerstroke 4 clear/coated ftw!
