Would anyone have any 80s/90s Remo Drum catalogues available - PDFs would be great. I have, what I am lead to believe is a 80s Mastertouch and have just picked up a nice complete Bravo II as well in black. Link below to the Mastertouch. I wld much appreciate any catalogue specific info, if anyone can assist it wld be appreciated. Also date range of the Bravo II - photos of this to follow once fully cleaned up and re-headed. Approx. date of the Mastertouch would also be useful as I am not that sure. They are really nice drums and I have enjoyed playing this one. Does anyone collect them/or own a Remo kit(s) around here?

| Sorry I cannot help with any details, but I get the feeling that most drummers are not keen on Remo drums, but those who actually OWN Remo kits tend to like them. There are a few stories of the Acousticon shells deteriorating over time, but generally said to have a good sound and great volume/projection. |

I have some catalogues. Unfortunately I am away from today until June 17th and don't have time to scan them as I'm setting off in 20 minutes.

| I had a Remo Legero 22,16,12,10 shallow single-headed nesting kit,14x3 snare for maybe 10 years. Very loud and clangy but good for latin jazz. Like having an entire timbale kit. A bit flimsy and the bass drum was impossible to anchor. Here they are in use mid 1980s http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/davidh_03/remolegero.jpg Farnham Maltings, Surrey |

I've had a couple of Remo kits - a Mastertouch in the late 80's/early 90's - good sound - toms were very deep - the bass drum was ace from what I remember - and a Bravo (I think) from a similar period but much more 2nd hand!!
Boty kits were OK soundwise but I never loved either - they seemed a tad soulless. |

| All thank you for the offers and information, very useful and appreciated. I will, once finished post up a few photos of the Bravo kit. Mick , I too have one of those 14x3 Piccolo, brass effect covering - use it for small jazz gigs, quite a useful little drum. |

| ...and John....the red kit in the photo looks like a Bravo, not a Mastertouch....different lugs and bass drum spurs. |
