CPCombo Conga Heads 10 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement synthetic conga head for a 10-inch drum, sold as a combo. For players reheading a quinto-sized conga rather than buying a new drum.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rehading a 10-inch conga after a head splits or dulls
- Players who want consistent pitch in humid or outdoor conditions
- Keeping a spare on hand for gigging percussionists
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting the warmth and give of natural rawhide
- Drums that are not 10 inches at the bearing edge
- Players needing a head for congas of other diameters
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Combo head
A layered construction rather than single-ply skin, aimed at holding tension steadily over time.
Detail 03
Synthetic material
Holds pitch through temperature and humidity swings that make natural skin go slack or sharp.
Detail 04
Conga-specific
Cut and collared for conga hardware. Will not fit bongos, djembes or drum kit hardware.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your conga's head diameter at the rim, not the widest point of the shell
- 02Hardware, hoop and tuning lugs are not included
- 03Expect to detune, swap and re-tension gradually over several sittings
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my 11-inch quinto?
No. Conga heads are sized to the bearing edge and do not stretch to cover a larger diameter. You need a head that matches your drum exactly.
02Is this natural skin?
No, it's a synthetic combo head. That means more stable tuning in changing weather but a brighter, more consistent tone than rawhide.
03Does it come with a rim or hardware?
No. This is the head alone. You reuse your drum's existing hoop, lugs and tension rods.
04How does it sound compared to rawhide?
Brighter and more even, with less variation slap to slap. Rawhide gives more warmth and character but shifts with humidity.
