Acousticon refers to Remo's shell material used on the majority of world percussion products that are produced in the Remo Inc. factory.
It is made from multiple thin plies of 100% recycled wood-fiber materials, laminated under pressure into a solitary tubular structure. Each drum-shell is impregnated with special resins to aid-in leaving moisture out, and then given a special 'acousticon' coating inside for optimal tone/acoustic qualities.
Acousticon utilizes high technology in its construction perhaps more than any previous drum shell. It takes the best qualities of wood and betters them for incredible consistency allowing unparalleled pitch, timbre, and projection. The continuous, one-piece wrap of Acousticon makes for a denser, better sounding drum. Because of its "uni-body" construction, there are no mismatched plies of wood, and all shells are constructed to exacting thicknesses, resulting in a sound with focus and articulation.

The best drums for a drum circle include Tubanos, Djembes, Frame Drums, Tambourines, and Shakers, each adding unique sound and texture. These instruments encourage collaboration and inclusivity, enhancing the group’s overall musical experience.
If the rubber foot on your Remo percussion product wears down or breaks, a repair kit is available for drums with 5/16" thick shells like Tubanos and Bahia Bass drums. The process involves cleaning the area, applying Super Glue to the new foot, and attaching it to the drum shell. For added stability, screws can be used to secure the foot, though the kit does not fit 1st generation drums with arched base shells.
The Dual Slider Percussion Strap is ergonomically designed to provide balance and comfort by evenly distributing the weight of drums across both shoulders. Available in three sizes—Small (90"), Medium (110"), and Large (130")—it suits drummers of different heights and can be adjusted for single or two-point connections depending on the drum's size and weight. This strap is ideal for both hand drums and larger bass drums, offering customizable support and mobility.
