Description
Premium PreMounted™ Bongo Heads 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, thicknesses 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.
Warm and classic sound with crisp slaps, round open tones, rich bass and controlled overtones:
Bongo Macho: 1mm
Bongo Hembra: 1.4mm
Bright and resonant sound with very crisp slaps, longer sustain and more overtones:
Bongo Macho: .8mm
Bongo Hembra: 1.2mm
Dry and woody sound with crisp slaps, shorter sustain and highly controlled overtones:
Bongo Macho: 1.2mm
Bongo Hembra: 1.6mm
Production times vary based on thickness, color and order volume. The typical required drying time is one week.
