At a Glance

What Is an Acousticon Shell?

Remo’s own material, formed from recycled wood fibre into a seamless shell. It is far lighter than a stave-built conga, it does not crack, and it is unaffected by humidity, which is why it dominates school and drum circle programs.

Does the Head Need Special Care?

No. The Nuskyn Type 2 Mondo head is synthetic, so it is weather resistant and dimensionally stable while keeping authentic feel and sound. It does not need the seasoning or humidity control a natural skin requires.

Who Is the Tubano For?

Music education programs, drum circle facilitators, music therapists and recreational players. The key tuning system means anyone can tune it, which is the practical difference from a traditional conga.

Why Remo

Remo has made drumheads in the United States since 1957, when Remo Belli replaced calfskin with Mylar and ended the problem that had defined drumming until then: a head that changed pitch with the weather. Every major head design since has come out of that company, and the Ambassador remains the most widely used drumhead in the world. Remo also builds world percussion, marching heads and the Acousticon shells used across its drum circle range.
