How is the Remo Classic Fit?
I didn't see a thread on this.
The remo classic fit is supposed to have a thinner collar. My club date has a modern remo bass drum head and it pops out quite a bit from the hoop. Even touching the tension rod. I'm ordering the classic fit so it will hopefully be flush. Anyone have experience with the classic fit? |

Re: How is the Remo Classic Fit?
Hi,
I recently put these on a couple of 60’s Ludwig and Slingerland floor toms that I have always had problems tuning and the drums just opened right up. Hope the heads work for you as well! James

Re: How is the Remo Classic Fit?
Although I have not physically compared the "Classic Fit" to their regular line, I hear various descriptions on exactly what is different (i.e. over-sized, thinner collar).
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe what has been done is that Remo has produced a thinner flesh hoop to gain more distance from the shell of the drum (and perhaps a slightly longer collar?). Therefore, the outer diameter of the heads hasn't really changed, but more wiggle room has been provided. |

Re: How is the Remo Classic Fit?
I'd been waiting like forever for an oversized head to fit my 1940s Krupa model radio king snare, with standard modern heads being a tight fit.- So I ordered one of these and - wow, the drum has opened right up, it has never sounded better, and getting even tuning is easy. Recently I took the plunge and got a Majetone calf batter head for it and and also didn't know what I was missing. ( I also got this made slightly oversized), So yes, the remo Classic fit is a long awaited and much needed winner.
