Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 8-5/8 inch replacement bongo head from LP. For players re-heading a large bongo drum that matches this exact diameter.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Re-heading a bongo whose head has split or gone dead
- Restoring a used bongo set with worn heads
- Keeping a spare for a working percussionist's larger drum
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone unsure of their drum's head size — this is one diameter only
- Players who need the smaller macho head as well
- Shoppers wanting a complete bongo pair
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
Single head, not a pair
Re-heading a full bongo set means buying the matching smaller head separately.
Detail 03
LP-branded replacement
Cut for LP bongo hardware. Fitment on other brands depends on their rim and collar dimensions.
Detail 04
$80.95
One head costs a meaningful fraction of an entry bongo set. Worth checking your drum's value first.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your drum's head across the outer edge, not the playing surface, before ordering
- 02Only one head included — the second bongo drum needs its own
- 03Set the head aside to seat overnight after mounting; expect retuning for a few days
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which bongo drum does this fit?
The larger of the two, at 8-5/8 inches. The smaller drum takes a different diameter head.
02Does this fit non-LP bongos?
Only if the diameter and collar match. Measure your existing head and rim before ordering.
03Do I get both bongo heads?
No. This is one head. A full re-head requires purchasing the smaller size separately.
04How do I know what size I need?
Pull your old head and measure its outer diameter. Bongo sizes are close together, so guessing usually costs a return.
