Installation
To install the Remo Symmetry Conga Drumhead, first remove the existing head and clean the bearing edge of the drum shell to ensure a flush fit. Place the new Nuskyn head centered over the shell and secure it using the drum’s tension lugs.
Tighten the lugs in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to ensure even tension across the head. Gradually increase the tension until the desired pitch is achieved, making final fine-tuning adjustments to eliminate any unevenness in the tone.
Compatibility
This drumhead is specifically designed for conga drums with a 12.5″ diameter. It is compatible with D1 style conga configurations. Please verify your drum’s shell diameter before purchase to ensure a proper fit.
Additional Details
The use of Nuskyn material eliminates the unpredictability associated with natural rawhide, such as stretching or shrinking due to moisture. This ensures that your instrument remains playable and resonant regardless of the venue’s climate. This product is supplied through Hal Leonard, ensuring authentic Remo quality and specifications.
