Together with the White Suede drumheads, launched at NAMM 2013 by the Valencia, California based drumhead and percussion company, Remo also introduced the Versa Drums: a new line of World Percussion products designed to 'encourage and enhance the use of drumming in recreational music making, education, medicine, and social settings'. This statement and the Versa products are 100% in tune with the direction Remo is taking with their percussion products. Soon we’ll talk about that some more on Drummerszone.com in an interview with Remo-founder Remo Belli.
First, let's have a closer look at the Versa Drums.
The lightweight, nestable and compact the Versa Drum is the latest in a long line of Remo innovations and features Remo's Taper-Fit Drum Coupling. This technology is patent pending both domestically and internationally. It is engineered to create an easy, self-sealing fit with the Versa pretuned drumheads giving the Versa Drum rich bass tones and an overall high quality of sound. Because the drums are lightweighted and nestable, it makes them a lot easier to store or to take out on the road. On the business level, these two reasons make the Versa Drums way much cheaper to ship around the globe.
The Versa Drum is offered in three large body shaped drums, the Djembe, Timbau and Tubano, all with the same bearing edge diameter and each with a corresponding drumhead. You can easily remove the drumhead and play it like a frame drum or switch the heads and transform the sound of the drum. Also, the Versa Drums are nestable, a very nice improvement for those who are tired of space the drums take in your car or van.
Versa Djembe The Versa Djembe is manufactured with Remo’s Acousticon drum shell, the TF 10 Skyndeep drumhead, Taper-Fit Drum Coupling which is engineered to create an easy, self-sealing fit between drumhead and drum shell for optimum sound quality.
Finish: Brown
Versa Timbau The Versa Timbau is manufactured with Remo’s Acousticon drum shell, the TF 15 Skyndeep drumhead, Taper-Fit Drum Coupling which is engineered to create an easy, self-sealing fit between drumhead and drum shell for optimum sound quality.
Finishes: Green and Carnaval
Versa Tubano The Versa Tubano is manufactured with Remo’s Acousticon drum shell, the TF 20 Skyndeep drumhead, Taper-Fit Drum Coupling which is engineered to create an easy, self-sealing fit between drumhead and drum shell for optimum sound quality.

Versa Drumheads The Versa Skyndeep Drumhead is available with four distinct sounds; TF 10 has a high pitch (standard on the Djembe), TF 15 has a medium pitch (standard on the Timbau), TF 20 has a low pitch (standard on the Tubano), and TF NSL for a Not-So-Loud application.
