Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 10.75" Remo conga head on a Crimplock hoop, with a synthetic Skyndeep film printed to look like calfskin. Replacement head for Crimplock-fitted congas.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn head on a Crimplock-mounted conga
- Outdoor and humid gigs where natural skin goes unstable
- Players wanting calfskin looks with consistent tuning
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Congas with traditional non-Crimplock hardware
- Purists who want the feel and break-in of real animal skin
- Anyone whose drum measures a different diameter
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

Man-made head. It holds pitch through humidity and temperature swings that detune natural skin.

The calfskin look is printed on. Appearance only — the playing surface is synthetic.
Detail 04

Quinto-range size. Higher pitched and sharper-toned than the larger conga and tumba sizes.

A specific film thickness and tone profile within the Skyndeep line, geared toward open, cutting slaps.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Verify your conga uses Crimplock hardware — other systems won't accept this head
- 02Measure your drum's head diameter; 10.75" won't stretch to fit
- 03Sold as a single head, not a matched set for multiple drums
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my conga?
Only if your drum uses Remo's Crimplock system and measures 10.75 inches. Traditional congas with steel hoops and hardware take a different head entirely.
02Is this real calfskin?
No. The calfskin appearance is a printed graphic on Remo's synthetic Skyndeep film. It looks like skin and behaves like a synthetic head.
03How does it compare to a natural skin head?
It holds tuning through humidity and temperature changes that would detune natural skin, and needs no break-in. Natural skin players will notice a different feel under the hand.
04What drum size is 10.75 inches?
That's quinto range — the smallest of the standard conga sizes. It sits highest in pitch, cutting through with sharper slaps and tighter tone.
