Installation
To install the replacement head, loosen the tension rods of your Tumba drum until the existing head can be removed. Place the new water buffalo head centered over the shell. Gradually tighten the tension rods in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to ensure even pressure across the hide, preventing warping and achieving the desired pitch.
Compatibility
This replacement head is specifically designed for 12.5″ Tumba drums, primarily within the Tycoon Percussion Master Series. Please verify your drum’s diameter before purchase to ensure a secure fit.
