A MONDO™ drumhead is defined by its construction style. These heads feature
a straight-wall ACOUSTICON™ construction. Mondo heads are stronger, more durable
and available in varying degrees of thickness from lightweight (resembling goat
skin) to heavy (resembling mule or cowhide). Unlike animal skin, these heads are
resilient to variations in weather and climate, making them easy to tune and play
in any condition

The chart below will help you get better acquainted with the Remo MONDO™ drumhead
types

Type 1

Type 1 heads are made with FIBERSKYN® 3 and fit Remo’s Djun-Djuns, Gathering
drums, and Arthur Hull’s Nesting drums. These heads feature a straight-wall
ACOUSTICON™ construction in order to easily fit larger drums. Type 1 heads
are pretuned and designed with a thumb-sized notch on each side so they can also
be used independently as hand drums.

Type 2

Type 2 heads come in either NUSKYN™ or FIBERSKYN® 3 for different instruments.
Both heads come with a high collar and utilize a straight-wall ACOUSTICON™
construction with a ½” support rim around the outside bottom for mounting with a
tension ring (traditional flesh hoop.) Type 2 NUSKYN™ heads fit key-tuned
Djun-Djuns, tunable Tubanos, and Remo’s Coffee House drum. FIBERSKYN® 3 Type
2 heads fit Klong Yaws, key-tuned Djembes, Ashikos and the MONDO snare drum.

Type 3

Type 3 heads are FIBERSKYN® 3 heads that fit Bombos, rope-tuned Djun-Djuns, and
pretuned Tubanos. They feature a straight-wall ACOUSTICON™ construction with
a low collar and feature a ½” support rim built around the outside bottom of the
head for mounting with a tension ring (traditional flesh hoop.)

History

In 1992 the MONDO™ drumhead introduced a new era of innovative drumhead manufacturing,
increasing the possibilities for Remo World Percussion. Mondo (Italian for “world”)
drumheads are created using PTS® (Pre-Tuned System) technology which was created
in 1980. This ground braking innovation advanced the world percussion manufacturing
possibilities decades ahead of the drum industry.
