Banjo Heads

Top or Bottom Frosted Mylar is cornerstone of the Remo banjo and drumhead line. The Weatherking line offers a classic look and consistently bright tone. There is no wonder these heads have been popular for more than 50 years. Thickness is .009"

Clear heads are considered the brightest in tone. These are great if you have something to show off on the inside of your banjo.

Cloudy is made with a semi transparent unfrosted Mylar. Tone is similar to frosted heads with a little added brightness. These heads are very popular with 4 string banjo players. Thickness is .008".

Fiberskyn heads are closest to calfskin in appearance and sound. Tyvek is fused to one side of the Mylar head making the vibrating surface thicker. Old time banjo players often prefer the fuller sound. Fiberskyn banjo head thickness averages .014"

Renaissance banjo heads have a semi transparent amber color, similar to "slunk" calfskin banjo heads. They are the thinnest of Remo's banjo heads, with a thickness of .008". Though thinner than standard Mylar, the tone is fuller and is a popular choice for Old Time Banjo players needing a slightly brighter sound in a band situation.

Black Suede is a black color film with it's texture and tone similar to Remo's Renaissance film.
Thickness is .010".

White Suede is a white color film with it's texture and tone similar to Remo's Renaissance film.
Thickness is .010".

If a banjo head is "sold out", that means it is either already on order, or we will be ordering it again soon. You may contact us to find out when the heads will be restocked. Please be aware that Remo no longer has a consistent production timeline, so we may not be able to give you a very accurate date.

If you do not see the size that you need, that means we do not offer that size. You will either have to use a skin head, look elsewhere, or order a custom head*.
*Custom heads are very expensive and take up to 1 YEAR to process at Remo.
