Installation
Installation of the Dundunba replacement head requires traditional tensioning techniques. Ensure the old head is completely removed and the bearing edge of the drum shell is clean and free of debris. Center the new 15″ head carefully over the shell before applying tension. Depending on your specific drum model, use the appropriate cords or lugs to tighten the head evenly in a cross-pattern to ensure a balanced seal and optimal pitch.
Compatibility
This replacement head is designed for 15-inch Dundunba drums. While optimized for Tycoon Percussion instruments, it is compatible with any Dundunba drum featuring a 15″ diameter head specification.
