"Drums are the foundation to the music, meaning the drumheads have to sound consistent. So for me, it came down to trust and confidence. I chose Remo because I want my drums to sound like my drums. Going from subtle and nuanced to powerful and massive when the music demands it, Remo gives me the confidence to do so. Also, there’s a lot to be said for using drumheads that’ve been trusted by generations of drummers. Remo has been such a fundamental part of recorded music and drumming culture for so long, and there’s a reason so many players continue to come back to them." -Alex Wood
