I understand these are a re-issue of an early remo head, any feedback?

i just put a set on very warm pretty close to old ones but not quite

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Yeah!... Vintage "A" all way 'round on this set... ( not on the bass drum though ) ... and I am blown away with them. They seem like a perfect match for these 1965 Rogers BR Celebrity's!

The Remo Vintage heads are not as "over-the-top" as the Fibreskins.
