Remo · Models
Remo Belli's Mylar drumhead, introduced in the late 1950s, ended the era of calfskin and made drums that stayed in tune through weather and travel. The company went on to build world percussion with synthetic shells and heads — djembes, frame drums, and the tunable Roto Toms — and remains the largest drumhead maker in the world.

Remo Emperor
Drumhead · United States
The Emperor is two plies of 7 mil film, which shortens sustain and raises durability against a single ply without the dead quality of a heavier double ply.

Remo Pinstripe
Drumhead · United States
Pinstripe heads bond two plies only at the outer edge, leaving a small air gap that damps overtones without muffling the fundamental. On toms it produces the fat, controlled sound of a great deal of 1970s and 1980s rock.
