Remo has developed an incredible array of drumheads to fit every drumming application by utilizing the most advanced technologies. Each drumhead is engineered to meet the diverse needs of drumset players in country, jazz, rock, pop, R&B, hip-hop and Latin, just to name a few.

Standard on Over 90% of Drumsets

To drumset manufacturers, Remo has, is and always will be the standard. Ever since we led the industry in the 1960’s to standardize drumhead sizes, we’ve been in the forefront when it comes to crafting, designing and manufacturing drumheads. You may even notice that our competitors often feature our heads as the benchmark by which they manufacture their products. We’re flattered. And because of our technologically advanced R&D on new adhesives, coatings, films and textures, we’ll continue to upgrade our drumheads at a blistering pace. For example, one recent drumhead improvement we made had over 175 film variations before the final upgrade was agreed on. Why? Because we just can’t leave well enough alone, that’s why.
