Remo Vintage A

The Head That Started It All...

In 1957 Remo's 'VIntage A' drum head changed the art of drumming forever. Constructed of 2-ply 7.5mm and 3mm polyester film, this was the first viable alternative to calf heads.

Remo 'Vintage A' Drum Head

As part of their 50th Anniversary Celebrations they have re-issued the 'Vintage A' so you can fit a little piece of history to your kit. Remo 'Vintage A' drumheads are available from your local Remo UK Dealer.


Overview

The first Weatherking Drumhead was made of newly introduced Mylar from DuPont™. 7 mil and 3 mil ply films were combined to make the first AMBASSADOR® drumhead. It was the drumhead that changed the sound of the world.


History

The growth of the drum-set as a popular musical instrument became a reality the day Ringo Starr appeared with the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. That day, the drum-set boom took off and Remo Drumheads went with it.

Vintage “A” Drumheads feature AMBASSADOR® durability with a unique soft feel reminiscent of calf heads with accentuated snare response for back beats, ghost notes, brushes and press roles.

Models: VA-0114-00
