Overview
Restore the authentic voice of your percussion instruments with the Ritmo Series Replacement Bongo Head by Tycoon Percussion. Designed for percussionists who demand a traditional sound and reliable performance, this replacement head provides a professional-grade surface that balances warmth, projection, and durability.
Crafted from high-quality water buffalo skin, this head is engineered to deliver the rich, organic resonance characteristic of traditional bongos. To ensure a seamless transition back to your performance setup, the head comes pre-tucked, eliminating the need for complex manual folding and allowing for a faster, more efficient installation process.
Key Details
- Premium Material: Constructed from genuine water buffalo skin for a traditional, warm tonal response and authentic attack.
- Ready-to-Install: Features a pre-tucked design, significantly reducing the time and effort required to mount the head to the shell.
- Optimized Diameter: Specifically sized at 7″ to fit compatible bongo drums within the Ritmo Series and similar specifications.
- Professional Build: Designed to withstand the rigors of regular play while maintaining consistent tuning stability.
Use Cases
- Maintenance & Repair: Ideal for replacing worn, stretched, or punctured heads to restore the original sonic characteristics of your bongos.
- Tonal Refresh: Perfect for players looking to move away from synthetic heads in favor of the natural warmth and depth provided by organic skin.
- Touring Backup: An essential addition to a percussionist’s gig bag to ensure a quick replacement is available during live performances or recording sessions.
Installation
Installation is streamlined thanks to the pre-tucked edges of the skin. To install, place the head over the drum shell and secure it using the existing tension rods and lugs. Gradually tighten the lugs in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to ensure even tension across the surface of the water buffalo skin, preventing warping and achieving the desired pitch.
Compatibility
This replacement head is designed for use with the Tycoon Percussion Ritmo Series bongos and other bongo drums requiring a 7″ diameter head. Please verify your drum’s shell measurements to ensure a precise fit.
