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.

May 30, 2020 · Here's my Acousticon Masteredge kit, 18/12/14 (also have a 10) and 5.5x14 snare. Kind of interesting, my Mom-in-law was a lifelong friend of Remo Belli (RIP,) and got this kit from him as a surprise present for my 40th birthday, in 2002.

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.

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 …

Apr 3, 2008 · Enforcer was made by Remo---decades ago---they are good solid drums. They look like standard rock sizes 12,13,16,22, and the snare looks like a 14 x 6.5---These would be a fine place to start if he is wanting to get into drumming. Throw on some new heads (which you would have to do with any kit) and you have some great sounding drums.

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 …

Jun 24, 2018 · The ultimate Remo player to me is Jeff Hamilton, who played them for years and they sounded phenomenal to my ears. He's a jazz guy though, so way different then Bozzio. Another great one to listen to was Louie Bellson who was actually friends and partners with Remo on these and played those drums for years.

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.

May 19, 2013 · Yes, Remo drums are made at their facility in Valencia, California, and always have been. It's the same plant that makes their Remo USA drumheads and Acousticon hand percussion drums. They haven't actively promoted their drumset line in several years, but their website still lists the GOLD CROWN series with "Advanced Acousticon" as their only ...
