We hope you enjoyed this behind-the-scenes look at Remo’s awesome drumhead factory. For more Sweetwater factory tours, click here 👉 ua-cam.com/play/PLlczpwSXEOyYUGOPzJUYkU8M-6nnCAW99.html
Recently got into drums with a very discouraging start on a "trash kit" that was clearly not taken care of. Hit up sweetwater and got some questions answered. Viewed several hours of head comparison and ergonomic basics. Watched Nick play many a session. Got the heads I liked from SW and wow! It's like learning a bowed instrument all over again. The quality does play a part and having a nice set of heads, a proper tuning, and a good seat makes a world of difference and my practice feels worth it now! I find I'm always going to the drumset over my bass or guitar or keys now.
This was great, I was reminded of several factories that I used to work at, either in the factory or factory office support, my whole working life working in a factory situation, all manufacturing, especially the American Can Company Dixie Products in Anaheim CA where you walked through the room and on one side of the room was the place where they made the cups out of the paper and they got sucked up into tubes which carried the paper cups overhead and down to the other side of the room to the machines where they finished the process, very similar to the first part of the tour
Love the veiled jab at Evans. Lol. Remo is no longer my brand of choice, but I don't think anyone can deny they make a good drumhead. And it's always nice to have options!
Excellent video. After using Remo heads for nearly 50 years it is great to see how they are put together. Would have loved to see how the pinstripes and other multiple ply heads are created.
The type of plastic they use, or mylar, makes all the difference in the world. Ambassador X heads hit the spot. I'm surprised they're able to stay in CA. So many companies are leaving the state.
I switched to Remo back in 2012. I was using another brand that will remain nameless but I wasn’t getting the durability that I was wanting out of this brand so I switched to Remo and it was night and day.
Remo needs to look into their Drumheads collars design the glue is too exposed, so exposed that at some certain point and at any moment the glue along with the drumhead will just pop out making the drumhead useless but still full of tone or it still new. Remo drumheads are the best and superior and yes its true when it last longer it sometimes sounds even better but the collar is the problem. Expensive… they’re expensive but the built quality because of the faulty collar design makes it sometimes feel or look more cheaper than cheap drumheads because most of them collars are clamped up down the aluminum with is glue
Seeing this video makes me question how Quality Control has gotten so bad in the recent year. A few friends and myself have bought brand new heads and in my set the plastic comes right off from the rim. BRAND NEW HEADS with regular tuning.

I’m a simple man. I see a Sweetwater video that features Nick D’Virgilio, I click like.
Lol..
You are very simple
@@Dale_V what’s that supposed to mean?
@@davidmcaninch4714 I agree how simple you are…most unoriginal comment on YT
@@Dale_V no need to be rude about it.
Whoever was filming this video did a great job.
Thanks Nick. Drum community needs more content like this.
The guy takes his time to throughly explain the process, so u can appreciate the meticullous work that is done, for each head.

Loved the tour! Gotta love Nick - so friendly and with great knowledge and comments. Thank you Sweetwater!

I love remo ... they are soo good
Nice I love this color sounds so much

Seeing this it makes me more certain to think that drums heads are too expensive for what they are and how they are made.
Founder Remo Belli passed away in 2016. RIP.
That cadence at the beginning was pretty freaking dope. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Remo my choice!
Remos on all my drums except kicks 🙂 Great products
Interesting.
Remo forever, down with Evans!
"we make custom orders up to 10 feet" lmao
I switched to Evans years ago and never wanted to look back.
❤❤❤❤❤
I recently started exploring the remo line of heads. Currently have one p77 in which that color separated from the fil in the middle of a set

I can not believe they didn't use SCV drumline in the intro.
Before we use it there's a lot of process..
Largest doesn’t mean bestest, we know that, right? 😂
First
Such a boring interviewer omg...same with the Ludwig tour...don't mean to be mean but seriously...
only tried remo once. They do not fit my Ludwig's. I've been using aquarian. Evans also fits.
The "classic" line will fit vintage Ludwigs or any other vintage drum that may be out of round or have a thick wrap.
They must know their coating sucks
I wanna work for Remo. Remo heads on all my drums
