RemoCrimplock Symmetry Skyndeep D4 Conga Drumhead Calfskin Graphic 11 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 11-inch Crimplock conga head with a calfskin image printed on synthetic film. For quinto players who want the hide look without weather sensitivity.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Quinto players needing stable pitch through humidity swings
- Congueros replacing a head on a Crimplock-mounted drum
- Outdoor gigs where real skin goes soft or slack
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Congas that don't use Crimplock mounting hardware
- Players who want the give and warmth of real hide
- Drums of any other diameter — size must match
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
A specific Crimplock collar version. Check which collar your drum takes, since versions aren't freely interchangeable.
Detail 03
Skyndeep synthetic film
Plastic, not hide. Pitch and feel hold steady when temperature and humidity move, so there's no pre-gig warming ritual.
Detail 04
Calfskin graphic
The hide look is printed onto the film. It's appearance only; the playing surface is plastic.
Detail 05
D4
Identifies the film variant. Variants differ in thickness and tone, so match what you had if you liked it.
Detail 06
11 inch
Quinto range — the smallest, highest-pitched drum in a conga set. Bright slaps, tight open tones.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only. No hoop, side plates, lugs or tuning wrench included.
- 02Confirm your drum's mounting type and collar style before ordering.
- 03Detune fully and lift the hoop off straight so it doesn't bend.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this real calfskin?
No. It's synthetic film printed with a calfskin image. You get the hide appearance with the tuning stability of plastic.
02Will it fit my conga?
Only if your drum uses Remo's Crimplock mounting. Traditional rim-and-hook congas or hand-tucked skins take a different head entirely.
03What drum size is 11 inches?
That's quinto — the smallest and highest-pitched drum in a standard conga trio. Not a conga or tumba size.
04Does it need heat or sun before playing?
No. Synthetic heads don't need seasoning or warming. Tension it and play.
