Remo

Remo D Belli was a percussion pioneer. In 1957, Remo, already a successful professional drummer, invented the first synthetic Mylar® drumheads, today’s industry standard. For over 55 years, Remo, Inc. has consistently broken new ground when it comes to industry firsts. Ultimately, when it comes to expertise as a drumhead manufacturer, nothing can touch the technical and musical advantages that Remo Drumheads provide.

The Remo story began after WWII, when experiments were being made with Mylar®, a polyester film made by DuPont®. The unusually durable, inexpensive, weather resistant material began Remo’s legacy with the Weatherking® drumhead.

Throughout the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, Remo continued to innovate and became the world’s drumhead specialist. Technical innovation reached new heights, thanks to new laminations, processes and coatings found in other Remo firsts such as Controlled Sound™, Pinstripe®, Smooth White™, Powerstroke®, Fiberskyn®, Suede®, Renaissance®, Nuskyn®, Skyndeep® and Comfort Sound Technology™.

In 1983, Remo launched the World Percussion product line using Acousticon® Shells, a 100% recycled wood fibre marking a major shift in the availability of a broad range of ethnic drums for recreational and professional applications, and helped create the global community of drummers today.

Drumming is an interactive community tool that promotes wellbeing and life enhancement. Remo is committed to ensuring that everyone has a chance to revel in this activity. Through Remo’s ongoing efforts, the professional, the enthusiast, the children, the elderly, the at-risk, and those with disabilities are brought the joy of drumming.

Remo, Inc. is proud to say it has always been at the forefront of sustainable manufacturing. They were first to successfully introduce an alternative to calfskin drumheads and traditional wood drum shells with Remo film processing technology and Acousticon® drum shells, respectively. They’ve been recognized for environmentally responsible manufacturing every year since 1998, and continue to push the limits of drumhead and drum technology while limiting the impact on the environment.

Remo is focused on developing and delivering quality accessories, instruments and programs for use in addressing all levels and aspects of global drumming activities. All of these combined efforts are what make Remo a worldwide leader in the percussion, lifestyle and specials needs industries.
