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.

    SO worth it! I had terrible ringing overtones from a Pearl Havana Quinto I bought… to the point I was really
    considering selling or trading it away at a loss. One quick call and a week later, my Manito 2.2mm Middle East Steer head has this thing sounding like a million bucks. Highly recommended if you want to completely transform the sound of your drum. Fantastic friendly service meets top quality product… bravo!
