Coated, or sand-coloured, muds are one of the favourite models of many drummers because of their musical warm and clear sound, sustain and great response. They are suitable as top and bottom membranes for tom toms and bass drums. Specifically, the Vintage Emperor series, a reissue of models from the 1960s, offers membranes made from two layers of 7.5 mil, or 7.5 thousandths of an inch, thick polyester. Their warm and open sound is characterized by a reasonable amount of bass and mids. The tone color is very bright, the sustain is medium, and the loopiness is very high.
