Nov 14, 2019 · Still, those are a bargain and Acousticon is the only shell material Remo has ever used. Master touch drums had straight-walled shells with a 45 degree bearing edge. The Master edge drums were one level up and featured a patented molded bearing edge that looked like a reinforcement ring.

Mar 4, 2010 · I would feel awkward putting EVANS heads on REMO drums. Might cause a disturbance in The Force or something equally sinister. The Bass batter is a PS P3 Renaissance. Sounds great so I am leaving that in place for now. The reso looks like the stock black head that came with the kit with the huge REMO logo.

May 12, 2014 · The tone is akin to birch shelled drums. Mastertouch series drums are among the finest offered by Remo during the 1990s, only the MasterEDGE drumsets were above them, which featured a patented moulded bearing edge. $700 sounds fair if the drums are in excellent condition, but I've seen MT sets go for less.

Jun 22, 2022 · I played a Remo snare in the early-mid '90s. I don't recall the model, but it was 6.5x14, with a chrome wrap, and a dark wood interior. It sounded beefy and was loud as heck. I used it for at least one recording back then, including this …

Dec 21, 2007 · I endorsed REMO drums for 10 years. 86-96. Then the decision was made to not spend any more advertising money working the drums. The one pro drummer that still plays them, is Jeff Hamilton. He played the Mastertouch drums originally, but I believe his main set is the Masteredge set for the last several years. They both sounded great.

Oct 28, 2010 · They say "Remo UX Drum Head, Made by Remo in China" on them at 6 o'clock, with a Sonor logo at 12. They feel different. The coating is different, they seem thinner, and the metal hoop is smaller in size. Seems to be the same diameter though. Things are going to get more confusing if we have these semi-USA looking Remo heads floating around now!

Jul 3, 2011 · The guy is asking $200 with hardware. I know very little about the various REMO drums, only that some were more desirable than others. The bronze snare in the pic is extra. Remo Acousticon Drums and hardware. Drum sizes are: 22x16 Bass 10x10 12x12 13x13 14x14 floor 16x16 floor 14x8 snare (Missing 1 lug)

Jan 30, 2019 · Your drums are Remo Bravo II in Blue Chromeburst Quadura finish. These sets were first offered in Remo's 1999 catalog and continued production into 2001 as far as I know. Made in Valencia, Ca. with Acousticon-R shells which are …

May 23, 2010 · The mounted toms, with clear Remo Ambassador batter and clear Ambassador bottom heads, offered a sweet sustaining pitch and were easy to tune as such.Toms are mounted with the Remo Suspension System (RSS), which attaches between the lug and the drum itself, so heads can be replaced without removing the drum from the mount.

Feb 4, 2008 · The badges will say which model (pics too small to read) but those drums are either Mastertouch or Masteredge drums with Acousticon-R shells which were offered in 316 or 516 thickness. These sets were Remo's top line drumkits in the late 90s, my Masteredge kit in the same Purple Sunburst finish I got at NAMM'98.
