REMO drumheads and products thread

[gss]

Is Remo Emperor Clear for the toms a good choice? I just ordered kay sir vinci kasi eh... it will arrived next week daw...

Any comments?

I just installed clear emperors around two weeks ago for my toms...nung una nanibago ako sa tunog but after a while parang ok na...i was planning to buy pinstripes pero nagkaubusan na...i think emperors are a good choice too...

I'm an Evans Drum heads user, but do you guys know what type of Remo heads Vic Mercado is using? Thanks.

ano ba mas bagay remo skins for Pearl Free Floating Brass Shell 14x3.5 snare?gusto ko yung high pitch pero konti lang ang overtones..

try either remo emperor x or evans reverse dot.

Benny Grebb uses coated ambassadors as batter AND resonant head. Mas warm daw. hehehehe
ganda nga ng recordings niya eh. Pero I bet hayop lang talaga ung tenga nung sound guy niya

What's your opinion on this: using remo coated ambassador as batter head for snares is ok, but what do you think is an appropriate resonant head? I used the stock coated batter head of my snare as the resonant head when I replaced it with a coated ambassador. The sound for me became "fatter?". Also, nagkaroon ng ringing, or a sound close to a mic feedback pag malakas ang palo. I'm assuming na I should use a different resonant head - like a clear one? Your thoughts please...thanks!

Remo Pinstripes sa Toms tapos CS na may white dot ata sa snare... Napanood ko lang sa sound check nila sa L.A. Show...

I replaced it with clear ambassadors, sound became open and brighter, thanks!

[glennaui]

What a nice thump! this remo emperor clear has... especially with the maple shells...


Lalo pang sasarap pag sa open or partially open venue...

Toowwb!! ganyan din ata yung gusto ko e. Sinalpak ko na yung coated emperor as batter at gretsch stock head sa reso. Medyo plastic na plastic ang dating ng tunog ng coated emperor e.very pronounced yung attack,saka parang hindi bouncy Ewan ko lang, wala talaga kasi akong experience sa tuning e, kaya nilagyan ko nlang ng O ring para mawala yung tunog na "kaplang"....Kalikutin ko uli bukas o kaya mag pinstripe nlang siguro for batter,tapos yung coated emperor ang reso para mas medyo open.....hay! masakit na daliri ko

A good combination for a "towB" sound would be a Coat.Amb. over Coat.Amb
The towb is just a combination of the attack and high resonance i think? not sure.
If the towb I'm thinking of is the same as you. "T" being attack "owb" being resonance
Pinstripes would retard the resonance and result in a punchy sound you described as plasticky.
same with emperors. since there is a second ply the head won't resonate as well.
Emperors are great for rock. Tune your drum to be in tune with itself then go up from there.
Start with you reso side and when you find the sound you like check each tension point make sure there as even as possible then do the same with the batter.
The more even they are the longer the "owb" will be. resonance.
Experiement i guess to find the tone you like.
Tuning is an art. And once you learn you'll enjoy playing that much more.
Also a side note O-ring, moongel and dampening in general is not going to allow your drum to sing.
So I would recommend against those unless you practice a lot. They also make the drum sound lower.
Also don't use heads you used as batters for reso's. thats bad for the tone.
So just play around with it I guess.

Any ideas?

Sir Riff,

Thanks for the notification and can you tell me where I can find a 10" Remo black suede skin?

[Riff_6603]

Sir Riff,

Thanks for the notification and can you tell me where I can find a 10" Remo black suede skin?

Unfortunately, it's not readily available at JB music. they would either give you an option to have it special ordered or notify you if any stocks would come by soon (which I doubt as the term "soon" is concerned). If you need it ASAP though, you could take advantage of either wireme's or vincher's special order services. they could expedite item deliveries if needed. good luck!

that depends sa tenga at sa budget mo. If pinalitan mo ang batter at hindi mo makuha ang tunog na hanap mo, then don't withhold sa budget in buying appropriate reso heads. if by changing the batter heads alone satisfied ka na sa tunog, then by all means enjoy!

[ghoulstats]

salamat po. ask lng ako ulit usualy sa evans G1 gamit sa reso. how about sa remo? and is it ok na ang batter evans tapos ang reso remo?

[muziquero]

Remo Clear Ambassador katapat ng Evans G1.. And yes, of course okey lang kahit Evans Batter tapos Remo Reso, basta 1ply reso lang dapat..

[ghoulstats]

okie ba yung remo encore 2ply for toms?

[Riff_6603]

okie ba yung remo encore 2ply for toms?

best to go with pinstripes or emperors if you have the budget. medyo may issue yung encores AFAIK so it's best to be on the safe side. matagal pagdadaanan ng heads mo, best to invest talaga sa maayos yung quality.

here's an excerpt:

mag pinstripe ka nalang, pasok ang tunog sa maraming genre esp. Pop, Rock and R&B... Personally, I won't buy encore kasi may issues yan regarding durability. Madali matangal yung film sa mismong rim, kasi crimped lang siya hindi glue, kaya mas preferred daw ng marami ang weatherking ng remo kasi glued siya so mas tatagal... link: http://www.remo.com/forum/post/view?bid=1&id=11681&sty=3

depende yan sa return policies ng store. pwede siguro tapos dagdag ka ng extra para pinstripe na lang gamitin mo. meron namang mga naka-encore na tumagal kahit paano yung heads, ingat ka nga lang talaga dapat sa pagpalo.

[vandal]

ingat ka nga lang talaga dapat sa pagpalo.

baka di makapalo ng maayos si ghoulstats kung at the back of his mind e naiisip nya na baka sa isang maling palo lang sa batter head e sira agad.

baka pwedeng ibalik mo nalang yan, bro ghoulstats. sayang naman. 2-ply batter heads are supposed to last longer than any other drum head kaya kung kung mapunit or masira agad, sayang naman investment mo.

[ghoulstats]

try ko nalng muna ito for a start ang encore ps head 2 ply made in taiwan. mag change nalang ako if mejo intermediate na skill ko hehehe bahista kasi ako try ko naman drums for a change ^^
