Description
Premium PreMounted™ Conga Heads are natural skins mounted on 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.
PreMounted™ heads are hand crafted on 1/4″ round stainless steel flesh hoops. Production times vary based on thickness, color and order volume. The typical required drying time for a 2.2mm skin is one week.
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.
