At Winter NAMM 2017 Remo showed the expanded Symmetry Conga drumhead line with a Low Collar height for the LP Compact Conga and Congas with the X-rims, and Pearl's Travel Congas and Congas with Easyplay rims.
Incubus-drummer José Pasillas first to infuse artwork on the Dorado Cajon.
Without compromising sound, Remo boosts the look of their Cajons to another level with infusing artwork of Incubus drummer and percussionist José Pasillas into cajon front plates. With that it is just a matter of time before Cajons will be artist statements by their own design: Cajon-Signature Series by X or Y. But yes, it is truly promising, because it looks cool, and the sound of the drum does not get compromised. Even better: the quick wedge technology (removing the snares from the cajon) Remo introduced in 2016 is still available with these drums. So you can change from a Flamenco cajon to a Peruvian cajon.
We are already familiar with the Tattoo designs of Corey Miller on the drumheads. Now, utilizing the Skyndeep graphic imaging technology, Remo is able to transfer graphic images to products, giving artists a platform to display their creative artistry as well.
And the results are great, and even more promising. We expect to see a lot more on this level, which is already common for styling and visually upgrading drums. With Remo expanding this feature to other products, the wait is only for the moment when brands start to offer production of designs that you upload and have the end result delivered at your home.
As you can see in the video and the images with the article on Drummerszone.com, the artwork of José Pasillas is infused on the Baltic Birch wood, taking on the natural wood grain textures.
