Remo Frame Drum

Synthetic-headed frame drums in many diameters

Remo's frame drums cover the tar, bendir, and general hand-drum formats in synthetic heads and Acousticon shells, which is what put frame drums into schools and workshops at scale.

  • 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.
