Remo is an American drumhead company. They are well known for their highly successful Weatherking series, which is now seen on orchestral, world, and marching percussion, and drum sets.

In addition to drumheads, Remo also produces drumsets and ethnic percussion instruments.

[edit] History

Drummer Remo D. Belli experimented with PET film as a possible material for the production of drumheads after World War II due to its consistency in tonal qualities, and resistance to weather changes. REMO was founded in 1957.
