Installation
Installing the Latin Percussion 13″ Plastic Timbale Head is a straightforward process. Begin by removing the existing head and cleaning the bearing edge of the drum shell to ensure a flush fit. Place the new head over the shell, ensuring it is centered perfectly.
Tighten the tension rods in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to distribute pressure evenly across the hoop. Gradually increase the tension until the desired pitch is achieved, making final fine-tuning adjustments around the circumference to ensure the head is perfectly in tune.
Compatibility
This product is compatible with any 13-inch diameter timbale or percussion drum that utilizes a standard hoop and tension rod system. It is specifically optimized for Latin Percussion timbales but will fit other brands of the same diameter.
