Description
Premium PreMounted™ Bongo Heads: 8-5/8″ Hembra 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.

I’ve ordered 4 conga heads and 2 bongo heads from you guys and emailed you on how to preserve the heads and you replied back immediately with a response. The quality of craftsmanship and customer service is very exceptional. Would love to someday experience the quality of your congas and bongos.

I received the head very promptly and it was exactly what I wanted – Manito heads are always great, I have ordered many heads, both flat skins and pre-mounted. They also are very helpful in ensuring the measurements are correct. I Love Manito.
