Remo7.15" R-Series Skyndeep Bongo Drum Head
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 7.15-inch Fiberskyn bongo head with a Skyndeep printed film. For players replacing a worn head or wanting a warmer, drier tone than clear synthetic.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a split or dead head on an existing bongo
- Players wanting natural-skin warmth without hide maintenance
- Humid or outdoor gigs where real skin goes slack
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting bright, cutting slaps — Fiberskyn is warmer and drier
- Purists committed to the feel of real hide
- Bongos with a different head diameter; sizing is exact
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
Fiberskyn
A textured synthetic surface that mimics hide feel and tone, but holds tuning through humidity swings.
Detail 03
Skyndeep imaging
The skin look is printed into the film, so the appearance stays consistent instead of varying hide to hide.
Detail 04
Synthetic film
Tuning stays put across weather changes, so you skip the heat-and-retune ritual real skin demands.
Detail 05
R-Series construction
Pre-mounted on its own hoop, so it drops onto the drum without wet-mounting or tucking skin.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01This is one head. A bongo pair needs both sizes replaced
- 02Confirm your drum's diameter — bongo sizes vary by maker
- 03Seat and tune in a star pattern, small turns, to avoid pulling it crooked
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit both bongo drums?
No. It fits the 7.15-inch drum, the smaller macho. The larger hembra takes a separate, wider head.
02How does Fiberskyn sound versus a clear head?
Warmer and drier with less ring and less high-end attack. Closer to natural skin than a clear synthetic head.
03Will humidity change the tuning?
Much less than natural hide. The synthetic film holds pitch through weather swings, which is the main reason players switch from real skin.
04Do I need special tools to install it?
Just the tuning wrench for your bongos. The head is already mounted on its hoop, so it seats directly under the existing rim.
