    I checked them out online at the Remo site and they look to be an excellent drum head. I haven't yet seen any available where I shop but, I will be sure to ask about them. If you should go ahead with a purchase, be sure to give us a review.

    I have them on my rack and floor toms and I think they sound great!!! Hopefully to find a store that carries them. I got mine at GC. That was after I went to two other music stores that disn't know what I was talking about.

    I got them in 10, 12, and 14 inches with Ambassador resonant heads. They take out ALOT of overtone and tone down the drums almost too much depending on how you tune. My story was, I replaced my one ply Emperors with these after already tuning the resos completely tight to get a shorter sustain for a studio sound. After putting on the Black Suedes, they sounded like deep thuds, so I retuned the resos about two fuill turns and they sound great, very deep.

    How much do they cost compared to the emperors? More / Less...?

    Roober, they cost about the same as Emperors. The deal I got at Guitar Center was $60 for the pack, but I had to special order them.

    Coke, I've had to put the set on the backburner due to some financial problems, but I plan to have it by the end of the year.

    I do like them, but the sound is alot more dampened than I had expected, you'll have to tune to a more narrow range to get a nice overall sound.
