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
Skyndeep synthetic film
Holds tuning through humidity and temperature swings instead of loosening or going sharp like a natural skin.
Detail 03
Calfskin graphic
The hide look is printed on the film. It is cosmetic and does not change how the head feels or sounds.
Detail 04
9.75 in.
This is the mounting size, not a shell measurement. Head sizes on hand drums are not interchangeable.
Detail 05
D1 head weight
A specific film thickness in Remo's range. Swapping weights changes attack and pitch more than most players expect.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only — no hardware, hoop, tuning lugs or wrench included
- 02Confirm your drum uses Crimplock mounting before ordering
- 03Check the printed size stamped on your old head rather than measuring the shell
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit any 9.75 in. conga?
Only if the drum uses Crimplock mounting. Traditional hook-and-hoop congas and tucked-skin drums use different hardware and this head will not seat on them.
02Is this real calfskin?
No. It is a synthetic Skyndeep film with a calfskin image printed on it, so you get the appearance without the humidity sensitivity of real hide.
03Do I need to soak or tuck it?
No. The head comes pre-mounted to its Crimplock collar. You remove the old head, drop this one on, and tension it evenly.
04Does the graphic wear off?
The image is part of the film rather than a surface sticker, though heavy slap-hand playing will eventually mark any head in the strike zone.
