How Remo Drumheads are Made - The Full Factory Tour

[@RhymesWithCarbon]

I’ve tried virtually every type of drum head and I always come back to Remo coated ambassadors. They are always dependable to provide me the sound I hear in my head.

[@tonyjackson4099]

Seeing the manufacturing process in ANY industry, from raw materials to the finished product, has always fascinated me. The vast majority of people take everything for granted and it's as if they think the products they use grow on trees. They have no clue about the arduous effort that goes into making the day-to-day products they use.

[@stevenwilson9865]

Over the years, I tried them all. And, always come back to REMO. Best drumheads in the business!

[@martinleicht5911]

Using REMO heads since 75 !! 👍

[@section8usmc53]

It's easy to forget just how durable these materials are. It's pretty incredible. The rolls of various materials just standing there like rolls of vinyl flooring kind of drove that home. This stuff can be brutally beat almost to death, and keep on taking it. Even when altered or damaged in many cases. It can hold people literally standing on them. Yet it can be so delicate as to transmit the finest vibrations that an orb weaver spider would be proud of. I've had resonant heads last years. They just keep tuning up. Eventually they reach their final point where they just won't hold a tune, and the longer they are on there, the more often they have to be tweaked, but you get your money's worth no matter which heads you go with, as long as you stick with one of the top companies. I've always just used Remo because that was the most prevalent at our school, and music store, and they never gave me a reason to feel the need to switch. That's a solid product display. It's extremely rare to find a dead head, and almost as rare to have one die on you prematurely. It's absolutely astounding what this material is capable of, as well as their ability to use it and set it in the manners they do. This is why I love factories and manufacturing so much. Most people take this stuff for granted. They see a simple factory that spits out a product they use. When you actually break down the processes of the machines and materials during manufacturing, and the science of the end product, it's really amazing that someone was able to figure these things out though chemistry, math, and a whole lot of trial and error.

Remo Fiberskyns on my Radio Kings are amazing. Amb top, Dip bottom. Goosebumps! Clear Amb on my '69 Ludwigs. Remo over 45 years for me.

[@otherstuff3773]

Been playing since 1972, always on REMO heads. Still got a set of Fiberskin 2 on my kit and after more than 30 years they sound so good I can't bring myself to replace them. REMO made them too good!

[@davidmcaninch4714]

I finally figured out my perfect drumhead combo, and they’re all Remo!!!! #notapoet Snare: Remo Controlled Sound Toms: Remo Pinstripes Kick: Remo Powerstroke 3 Resonant on kick and toms: Stock DW Ambassador Snare Side head: Ambassador Hazy snare side

[@glengamble526]

I’m a proud member of the Remo family and have been endorsing these heads for years #teamremo #remodrumheads Simply put, they are the best.

[@Augustot2t]

Remo gives a class here😮😮

[@cactusstudiossouth]

I've been using Remo Heads for over 50 Years! My favorite is The Ambassador for my Snare and Pinstripes for my Toms along with Remo Muff'ls!

[@smit70NJ]

It's such a shame Remo stopped making drum sets! Their acousticon shells had the best sound. Their snare drums were the greatest snare drums you'll ever hear. Their Gold Crown line was amazing. I hope they go back to making drums some day.

[@madhatter2012]

I saw Carl Palmer on a gig with ELP in '97. He was playing a Remo kit, and you're right. They sounded amazing!

[@BumpNrun69]

4:16 What the hell is that, wood grain film? That is too cool, probably a custom reso head for someone? Wow

[@mrneon7745]

Wow all the secrets at Remo.

[@c_wonder]

Appreciate companies that continue to produce quality products to make our instruments sound out to their potential. I enjoy experimenting with brands but I know Remo heads are consistent and reliable.

[@Theratron]

Very nice video! Would have liked to see how they make the pinstripes though. Seems to me there is an extra step glueing two layers of film together after the film has been cut into circles, and applying a black line on the film with a stamping machine, right?

[@cactusstudiossouth]

YES! Exactly! And Remo has deals with Guitar Center to buy a full set in bulk for less then every other retailer!

[@edwardkaminsky8142]

Yamaha, Paiste, Remo coated Ambassadorsand Emporer's, 7AN ( London drum company ) Great information 👌!

Been playing remo drum heads for a long time

[@bobsaint-laurent5655]

I'm just about to make a major red colortone move on my kit !!! 💪🥁

[@MrRemo71]

Nothing against any of the other drum head manufacturers but I hope Remo is always successful.

[@vincenzoa2929]

Remo heads rule!

[@robburgess4556]

That wood finish head looks really cool

[@jibguy2003]

Outstanding!

[@MrRezRising]

Mark's right. You gotta love the simple grooves, sometimes for 30 min straight.

[@DrumApe]

Awesome, thanks! You can tell so much passion went into R&D and the manufacturing process and it really shows in their heads, because they are the best.

[@krank2kold]

Whoa 🤩 what kind of head was that at the 5minute mark? It looked like a wood stump l

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Best heads ever! 😎💪🏻👍🏻

[@youtubeaccount17935]

Evans all the way but temp are still good heads

[@hipgroove68]

I had the pleasure of working at a small music store in Syracuse NY. for 10 years. I had access to all different brand's and styles of heads. There is no better, more consistent drum head than Remo. Fact.

Actually what you just stated is called an opinion. Fact.

[@hipgroove68]

@@johnbensinger4931 I dig. I can say with confidence,and 10 years experience..Remo is more consistent in quality,and consistent in tone. If you took 10 coated ambassador's..looked them over..then played them..it would be consistent...like Zildjian's used to be ..lol

[@williamboyle8918]

Very cool

[@FknNefFy]

Givin’ away all the secrets…❤

[@kepler240]

it always amazes me that the heads don't tear apart after being hit so many times. Seems like a good way to make bullet proof glass.

[@La_sagne]

have you shot a remo head with a gun?.. ill bet you $50 itll go right through

[@BrockolyPercussions]

Pretty interesting tour, im a big fan of REMO 👍🏽👌🏽

[@drummerszone]

Thank you so much!

[@ncimson5318]

Wish theyd made different colors and pattern for Roland vDrum mesh heads

[@La_sagne]

i have a second powerstroke 3 bassdrum batter head in case the one i bought 15 years ago ever breaks at a gig... but good chance ill forever be using the first bassdrum batter i ever bought

[@cuisined]

Please explain how a Remo Encore is different from the one made in U.S.A? I understand tje u.s version uses epoxy and the taiwan version does not, but are there any other differences? How about durability? Sound and Pitch? thanks

[@danlc95]

I believe the films are different.

hes not talking about the rim.. the rim is what you put on the hoop. but i like your way of thinking.

Good old heads Made in the USA

[@azndude8668]

"Plays Remo drumheads", like obviously if they are included in a video about how to make Remo heads.... you should have listed what band they play in or have played with for the viewer, I don't know half of these guys...

[@williamboyle8918]

Google is complicated

[@nathanyazzie9044]

Remo!!!!🤘😍🤘

[@the6ig6adwolf]

LMAO!! Totally had an AD for Evans UV2 drumheads before the video.

[@davidmotheral7687]

The problem is the cheap aluminum fleshoop is flimsy and has no mass to it. The lack of mass kills sustain and the flexibility of the aluminum allows a drum to detune much faster. You can't beat a steel fleshoop with a steel square insert glued and crimped. The use of aluminum and glue is just a way of increasing profits by cutting corners. All the high tech Info they used to sell it was just gimmicks to convince you it wasn't just cutting corners.

[@watsytooya8107]

Drum head manufacturers makes more $ than the shell manufacturers I guess.

[@xman666soad]

I love being able to play drums enough to carry a beat, I’m no Neil Peart but I can sound almost good at times.

[@EarthtonesCymbals]

Prehistoric process and quality compared to Evans heads.

[@La_sagne]

theres loads of drummers so famous and so good that they can chose any company to sponsor them... some play gretsch, some play dw, some play pro mark, some play vic firth, some play paiste, some play zildjian, some play remo, some play evans... quality is fine with all of them.

[@JoeyRam.]

In summary, why buy the mayor labels heads and pay double?... if going Remo is just the same. Before watching the video, I was a Remo fan..and will keep it that way.

[@hipgroove68]

If you read my comment above.. Remo is the best, most consistent

[@planetrob555]

Remo IS a "mayor" label. Shill.

[@hipgroove68]

@@planetrob555 shill... LMAO

[@La_sagne]

what do you mean "the major Labels" isnt remo the most major label drum head conpany?

[@JoeyRam.]

@@La_sagne It is, but the same head quality and material labeled Yamaha, Gretcsh or Sonor gets expensier than labeled Remo. Again, better go with a Remo head having, say ..a Yamaha drums...than buy a Yamaha head. At the end they are all the same.

[@chriswilson6887]

Remo should really start painting your hoops I did. I can't be the only one that doesn't want to see silver on their drums head hoops. Remo why have you not come out with a line of C.S. heads to go along with the colortone line. Also the Remo rep in 2019 sweetwater said logo's on colortone heads can't be take off. I did it !

[@qzwxecrv0192837465]

Hilarious that they have to put “plays remo drum heads” under every artists name. It’s a remo video, so YEAH, common sense says they are PLAYING remo drum heads
