Remo Heads Steve Smith is a proud Remo endorser. Here is what Steve has to say about his Remo setup: "Since 2009, I have set up my toms with Remo Clear CS "Black Dot" heads on the tops and bottoms. This the setup I saw Tony Williams use and I've always loved the sound. With this setup, I can have the toms tuned to warm, melodious tones, with a relatively short sustain. Before that, I used Clear Ambassadors on the tops and bottoms. In both cases, I had the bottom head tuned slightly higher than the top head. For many years now, I have used a Clear Powerstroke 3 on the batter side of my bass drum and a white coated Powerstroke 3 on the resonant side. There is no hole in the front head and the only muffling is a felt strip on each side, placed about 3" down from the top of the drum. The tension of both bass drum heads is medium, just getting rid of the wrinkles. By using a front head with no hole, and no padding inside the drum, the drum is more responsive - and has a full sound - when played with a wide range of dynamics. I set up all of my 14" snare drums with Clear Ambassador or Diplomats on the snare side (bottom) and a Fyberskin 3 Diplomat on the top. The Fyberskin 3 Diplomat gives the snare druma warm tone and is perfect for brush playing. On my 12" side snare, I use a white coated Ambassador on top." Click here to visit the Remo Web site.
