The hardware the tuning rod pulls against. One failed bracket makes even tuning across the head impossible.

RemoDjembe Tension Bracket Assembly
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement tension bracket assembly for Remo key-tuned djembes. Buy it if a bracket on your drum is stripped, bent, or missing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Repairing a single damaged bracket on a Remo key-tuned djembe
- Keeping a spare on hand for a gigging or teaching drum
- Restoring even head tension after a bracket fails
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Rope-tuned djembes, which have no tension hardware
- Non-Remo drums with different bracket spacing and geometry
- Anyone looking to add tuning hardware to an untuned drum
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
Remo-specific part
Sized to Remo's key-tuned djembe shells. Bracket spacing and mounting differ between makers, so cross-fitting is unreliable.
Detail 03
Sold as a single assembly
Covers one tension point. A drum with several damaged brackets needs several of these.
Detail 04
Key-tuned system
You tune with a drum key rather than rope pulls, so hardware condition directly sets how well the drum holds pitch.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Count how many brackets you need — this is one assembly, not a full set
- 02Check your drum is key-tuned, not rope-tuned, before ordering
- 03No drum key included; you need one to tension the replacement
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit any djembe?
It's made for Remo key-tuned djembes. Other brands use different bracket spacing and mounting, so fit isn't reliable outside that range.
02How many do I need?
One per damaged tension point. Inspect every bracket around the drum before ordering, since a bent one can be easy to miss.
03Does it come with a drum key?
No. You'll need a standard drum key to tension the bracket once it's installed.
04Can I install it myself?
Yes. It's a bolt-on part — detension the head, swap the bracket, then retension evenly around the drum.
