Installation
To install the replacement head, first remove the existing tension bolts or lugs from the drum rim. Carefully remove the old head and clean the bearing edge of the drum shell to ensure a flush, airtight seal. Place the new Tycoon head over the shell, align the rim, and gradually tighten the lugs in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to ensure even tension across the surface. Tune to your preferred pitch using a drum key.
Compatibility
This replacement head is specifically designed for congas with a 12 1/2″ diameter bearing edge. It is compatible with Tycoon congas and other brands utilizing the same standard sizing. Please verify your drum’s diameter measurements before purchase to ensure a proper fit.
