Remo Ocean Drum

A frame drum filled with steel beads

Tilting the drum rolls hundreds of small steel beads across the head, producing a sound close enough to surf that it is used for exactly that in film and theatre — and, with a clear head, watched as well as heard.

    Congas, bongos, djembes, cajons, timbales, frame drums, and the small instruments that live on a percussion table: tambourines, cowbells, shakers, and claves.

  • 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.
