Description
Overview
Restore the authentic voice and resonance of your percussion instruments with the Ritmo Series Replacement Bongo Head by Tycoon Percussion. Designed for percussionists who require a reliable, professional-grade surface, this replacement head ensures your bongos maintain their traditional tonal characteristics and projection.
Crafted from high-quality water buffalo skin, this head provides the organic warmth and sharp attack expected from traditional bongo drums. To simplify the maintenance process, the head comes pre-tucked, removing the need for complex manual folding and allowing you to get back to performing faster.
Key Details
- Premium Material: Constructed from genuine water buffalo skin for a traditional, rich percussive tone.
- Ready-to-Install: Pre-tucked design ensures a secure fit and eliminates the tedious preparation usually required for natural skin heads.
- Professional Durability: Engineered to withstand the rigors of regular play while maintaining consistent tension.
- Authentic Response: Delivers the specific harmonic profile and sensitivity required for Latin and world percussion styles.
Use Cases
- Instrument Maintenance: Ideal for replacing worn, stretched, or punctured heads on Ritmo Series bongos to restore original factory sound.
- Tonal Refresh: Use when the existing skin has lost its elasticity or “snap,” providing a fresh surface for crisp slaps and deep open tones.
- Touring Backup: An essential spare for performing musicians to ensure a quick swap during rehearsals or live shows if a head fails.
Installation
Installation is streamlined thanks to the pre-tucked edges. Begin by removing the existing head and cleaning the bearing edge of the drum shell. Place the replacement head over the shell, ensuring it is centered. Secure the head using the drum’s tension rods and lugs, tightening in a cross-pattern to ensure even tension across the surface. Tune to your preferred pitch using a drum key.
Compatibility
This replacement head is specifically designed for use with the Tycoon Percussion Ritmo Series bongo drums. It is optimized for drums requiring a 6″ diameter playing surface.
