"I began my drumming career being told that Remo was always the BEST for drumheads and have continued to use them throughout my career. I love the way they sound as well as how they really allow the drums to sing. Playing with Olivia Rodrigo, I want to encourage everyone, but specifically young female identifying people to start playing drums & of course, using Remo! It has always been Remo for me. There was a brief period where I experimented with others, but they don't sing as much as I have found Remo drumheads do. They make vintage and new drums sound exactly how I want them to! :) " -Hayley Brownell
