Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a stretched-out or torn head on an existing drum
  • Keeping a spare on hand for gigs and rehearsals
  • Restoring a used conga bought without a serviceable head

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone who has not measured their drum's actual head diameter
  • Players wanting a different tonal character than the original
  • Anyone expecting a complete drum or hardware kit

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 01

11 in. size

This is the drum's head diameter, roughly quinto territory in a conga set. It must match your shell, not your preference.

Detail 02

Replacement head only

The hoop, tuning lugs, and side plates on your drum are reused. No hardware comes with the head.

Detail 03

Conga head

Cut and collared for a conga's crown and rim, not a drum kit tom. Kit heads will not seat correctly.

Detail 04

$99.99 for a single head

Conga heads are large and priced well above kit heads. Budget accordingly if you are replacing more than one drum.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your drum across the bearing edge, not the outer shell, before ordering
  2. 02Head only — no hoop, lugs, or tuning hardware included
  3. 03Plan an hour for the swap and expect to retune over several days as it settles

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01How do I know if 11 inch is my size?

Measure straight across the top of the shell at the bearing edge, where the head contacts the drum. That measurement is the head size, not the shell's outer width.

02Will this fit any brand of conga?

It fits 11-inch congas with standard crown and hoop dimensions. Check your drum's hardware against the head's collar depth if it is an unusual make.

03Can I install this myself?

Yes. Remove the tension rods, lift off the hoop and old head, seat the new one, then tighten the rods gradually in a star pattern.

04How long does a conga head last?

Depends entirely on playing hours, hand technique, and humidity. Replace when it loses pitch, thins visibly at the strike area, or splits at the collar.
