Premium PreMounted™ Bongo Heads: 6-3/8″ Macho

Description

Premium PreMounted™ Bongo Heads: 6-3/8″ Macho are natural skins mounted on 3/16″ stainless steel flesh hoops. They are designed to fit drums with specific shells sizes and crown types right out of the box.

A wide variety of skin types and three color options make your PreMounted™ heads fully customizable to suit any application.

Skin thickness is recommended relative to the shell size- the larger the shell, the thicker the skin. This produces a balanced sound across the entire set of drums.
