On the Emperor and the P77 it is just the top ply that is coloured – the bottom ply is regular clear film. For toms there are twin ply Emperors in sizes from 8" to 18". “To do it successfully for the mass market using DuPont Mylar has been the difficulty to overcome - they’re not easy to mass manufacture!” For snare drums there are 13" and 14" Powerstroke-77 heads, which consist of twin 7-mil plies (hence the 77) with an additional 5 mil CS dot on top and a 7-mil perimeter underlying damper ring. “There has always been demand for coloured heads in a popular, musical open-sounding drum head,” he explains.ĬolorTone is a significant development because with Skyndeep imaging Remo can now make coloured versions of its established clear heads without changing the sound Particularly - and unsurprisingly - from owners of all types of Perspex/acrylic kits. Remo has actually employed Skyndeep since 2007, particularly on world percussion heads, but Jeff reveals that customer requests were behind the reintroduction of coloured drum kit heads. The colouring is done at the Remo factory”. Jeff Davenport explains that the so-called Skyndeep imaging technique is, “a kind of sublimation process where the ink is printed within the plastic rather than being layered on top. The big advance is in the way the colour is achieved. And so far in three types: Emperor, Powerstroke-77 (P77) and Powerstroke-3 (P3). These are available in six colours - Translucent Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Smoke. Thank you for looking and may the good Lord bless you.Today, Remo’s Starfire heads, in reflective chrome or gold, are chosen for front kick heads, or for resonant heads generally, particularly as the 12 mil thick laminate has a controlled sustain. *** If you want both kits and/or snare drum, contact me for a DISCOUNTED PRICE.
#REMO DRUMS PC#
See my other listings for drum parts, and 2 matching 3 PC kits (22,18,14) and (22,16,10). Inside shell is black which looks original. I couldn’t find this “paint splattered neon” color in Remo’s old catalogs so I’m assuming that a previous owner painted it or had it professionally painted (looks professionally done). The lugs are slightly separating from the shell (see pic 11) but they’ve been like that for years and haven’t gotten worse.Īll heads are used but have plenty of life left. I cleaned it lightly but a good cleaning will make it look much better. It is 100% functional, bearing edges are smooth, in good cosmetic condition with normal signs of use through the years but nothing major (see pics). 8 Lug Snare Drum with 2.3mm Triple Flanged Hoops Powersnap quick-release tunings lugs (I’m including 2 extra lugs in case any ever need replacing) Quadura temperature resistant covering / wrap Acousticon SE moisture proof shells (appears to be a thin 4-5mm thick shell)
#REMO DRUMS SERIES#
The Encore Series was Remo’s 2nd best quality kit, after the Mastertouch Series. Terry Bozzio, Vinnie Paul & many others were top endorsers of Remo Drums. Remo was not only a popular drum head company but in the 80s and 90s, they were a top quality drum manufacturer also. This snare drum is about 30 yrs old so I’m calling it vintage. This listing is for a Vintage 1990s Remo Encore Series 14x8 Snare Drum 14” diameter and 8” depth.
