Remo Belli created convenience for professional drummers when he pioneered the use of Mylar, a synthetic polyester film for drumheads. However, these calfskin drumheads had to be frequently tuned with weather fluctuations. Throughout the 1960s, it was a fight to gain market acceptance, as purist jazzmen preferred the sound of natural calfskin. 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. The Remo Clear Pinstripe Marching Tenor Heads feature a crimplock hoop that is a hybrid design combining a crimped leg over the WeatherKing poured channel technology, locking the film into the collar for added strength and durability in hi.Drummer and founder Remo D.
