The Emperors gives the drums a more open and resonating sound than with Pinstripes..............I think that the only difference between Ebony pinstripes and the regular Pinstripes is the look..........but I

Wouldn't the black coloring have some kind of effect on the sound?

I think ebony heads sound just a little different... maybe somewhere between a clean and coated head, leaning a little closer tonally to a clear one. I've used 'em a couple times and they sounded fine. I remember having an ebony Powerstroke on my kick and really liking the sound.

 

I agree with everyone else- the Emperors are a little more resonant and not as "wet" sounding. They're probably more versitaile...
