Remo Inc. is an American drumhead, drumset, percussion instrument and banjo head company founded by Remo Belli in 1957.Drummer and founder Remo D. Belli experimented with PET film as a possible material for the production of drumheads after World War II due to its consistency in tonal qualities and resistance to weather changes. Throughout the 1960s, it was a fight to gain market acceptance, as purist jazzmen preferred the sound of natural calfskin.
