Remo Fiberskyn

Synthetic film with a calfskin surface

Fiberskyn puts a fibre coating on a synthetic film to approximate the tone and texture of calfskin without its instability, and is used on hand drums and vintage-voiced kits alike.

  • Drumheads

    The consumable that changes a drum's voice more than the shell does. Single and double ply, clear and coated, with and without built-in muffling.

  • Remo

    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.
