I have the other 2 sizes, 6” and an 8”, and these three are an awesome addition to any drummer looking to play progressive rock music, Latin, jazz, anything with world instrumentation. Also, these are great if you are into world music and looking to broaden your percussion approach from beyond the typical “jazz setup” drum throne. <br ...
This is a review of the 8” remo roto tom I purchased as a 3 piece set featuring the 6”, 8”, and 10”. I love this remo 8” roto tom because it embodies all the necessities of a good tom, without the high costs typical in creating a typical octobon or tom-tom shell. As with the 6”, it is light, maneuverable and goes well when paired with the 6 an...
This is a review of the 6” remo roto tom I purchased as a 3 piece set. I love this remo 6” roto tom because it embodies all the necessities of a good tom, without sticking to the fundamental rules and playing the old systematic ways of creating a typical octobon or tom-tom shell. It is light, it is maneuverable. This is a great asset for me b...
In the studio my DW set often suffers from afterglow ringing sound. In a live setting this is fine, as I feel it adds a certain reverb sound and sounds great. However, when in the studio it is something I wish to avoid at all costs. In my attempt to silence after ring, I came across the remo muff ring control set. Changing heads, dampening, c...
The Remo Putty Pad rocks for two reasons: one it is a drum pad that you can make as big or as small as you like and two it is very similar to Silly Putty! It comes packaged in a reasonable small plastic tube. I received it as a free gift for attending a drum clinic at Sam Ash music in New Jersey. It goes ...
Remo’s standard Tambourine is a 10 inch percussion instrument that I’ve used for recording with a friend of mine. I don’t own the instrument as it was his, but we’ve recorded with it a number of times in my home studio. The Tambourine is 10 inches in diameter, with eight pairs of jingles and two rows each. Remo isn’t known for making percussi...
Sony’s MDR-7506 are a set of professional level recording studio headphones. Sony has a ton of different headphones to choose from on all levels, and the MDR series of headphones are probably their most popular. The MDR-7506’s in particular are a great set of headphones. They’ve got large diaphragm speakers and are great for variety of applic...
I discovered the Remo Emperor X back in 2003. They were gifted to me after winning a prize with my band. I was super impressed of how huge this head could make my snare sound. You can find this skin in market for a price around $20. Definitely money well spent, since this last for a very long time. <a href="http://www.g...
This is another skin that Ive used many times. I was lucky enough to get a package for free of them on 2003 and I still have one of them left. The Powerstroke 3 is a great head, probably one of the most known. I had this head on my kick on my bands last tour in March. You will find this head for about $40 in the market. Look for v...
Oh, the Remo Clear Pinstripes, these skins were on the very beginning, when I first grabbed a pair of drumsticks. Consequently, they became a permanent part of my kit for the first 7 years of my drum career. Look for the value pack, around $40 for three tom heads. Otherwise, they cost around $15 each. <a href="http://w...
