RemoCrimplock Symmetry Skyndeep D2 Conga Drum Head Calfskin Graphic 12.5 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 12.5-inch Skyndeep conga head with a calfskin graphic and Crimplock mounting. For conga players replacing a worn head on a Crimplock-fitted drum.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Congueros who want calfskin look without natural skin's weather swings
- Outdoor and stage work where humidity shifts natural hide
- Replacing a torn head on a Crimplock-mounted conga
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drums using traditional tuck-and-crown or non-Crimplock hardware
- Players who want the actual feel and response of natural hide
- Anyone needing a drumset head — this is conga-specific
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
Symmetry construction
Even tension pull across the head, so tuning lands more predictably at each lug.
Detail 03
Skyndeep film
Synthetic film with a printed calfskin image. Holds pitch through humidity changes that shift real hide.
Detail 04
12.5 in. size
Quinto-range diameter. Measure your drum's bearing edge, not the shell bottom, before ordering.
Detail 05
Graphic calfskin finish
Visual match to skin heads under lights while staying synthetic underneath.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your conga uses Crimplock hardware — the collar is not interchangeable
- 02Measure the playing surface diameter; conga sizes are not standardized across brands
- 03No tuning wrench or hardware included, just the head
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit any 12.5 inch conga?
Only congas with Crimplock mounting hardware. Drums with traditional tucked heads or other collar systems will not accept it.
02Does it sound like real calfskin?
It is synthetic film with a printed calfskin graphic. The visual is skin; the tuning stability and moisture resistance are synthetic.
03Do I need to soak or tuck it?
No. The Crimplock collar is pre-mounted. It drops into the drum's hardware and tunes with the existing lugs.
04What size conga is 12.5 inches?
That diameter sits in the quinto range. Measure across your drum's playing surface to confirm before ordering.
