Description

Premium PreMounted™ Conga Heads are natural skins mounted on 1/4″ round 304 stainless steel flesh hoops. They are designed to fit drums with specific shell 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.

  1. Benny Berckmoes

    very nice service and product!

  2. Michael R Muldoon

    I called the shop with a vague description of the sound I wanted and the problem I
    have been trying to solve with
    the tumba especially. Swin (not sure of the spelling), came up with the perfect heads. I have struggled with the sound of the tumba for as long as I’ve had it, but not any more. The heads look, sound and feel fantastic. I am looking forward to ordering Bongo heads next. Highly recommend Manito Percussion.

    Done properly…

  4. Benny Berckmoes

    Nice congahead thanks 🤗👌

  5. Victor Rivera

    Top quality expertly pre-mounted head. Looks and sounds awesome!

  6. Christian Oquendo

    Great conga heads! The descriptions about the thickness and the sound they produce in the pre-mounted ones is spot on. I have purchased both, the skins and installed them myself and I just purchased pre-mounted and I have been very satisfied with both type of products. For the skins and installation, Swen worked with me tirelessly as I needed to get flesh hoops as well. It was my first time changing conga heads and the help was fantastic. I continue to recommend you guys each time people ask me where I got my skins. Especially when they see the sound produced by them on bottom of the line CP congas. Keep up the good work!
