Dam and were on the list !

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Remo...the best heads to ever grace my drums! RIP, Mr. Belli and condolences to his entire family.

I purchased my first pro kit at his store in Hollywood, Drum City, which was a Rogers Celebrity kit. A great little drum store to hang out in!

He developed the greatest drum heads in the world, the only ones I'll use.

For almost 30 years there has been only 1 Drumhead on my kits and that's REMO. I will use them to the day I die. Thank you Mr. Remo.

A great innovator whose impact has been enormous.

All these years I never noticed that his company bore his given name rather than his family name. Just never twigged.
