About Remo After World War II the founder of Remo Inc. Remo D. Belli was experimenting with PET film as a new material choice for drum heads. At the time the idea was dismissed by many drummers because they preferred the sound of calfskin heads which dominated the market at that point. There were however some issues with the calfskin heads such as their need for regular tuning so Remo Belli went about solving these problems and creating a convenient solution for drummers. Using Mylar a synthetic polyester film for drum heads Belli was able to copy the look of a calfskin head with a white and opaque look. Later developments of these drum heads included clear heads two-ply heads and simulated natural heads (Fiberskyn) which are still very popular amongst many modern drummers. Remo D. Belli died in April 2016 however the company continue to lead the way in the drumhead manufacturing industry supplying heads to a range of drum manufacturers including Pearl Yamaha Mapex DW Drums and many more.
