Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Synthetic bongo head with a textured, skin-like surface. Fits 6.75-inch bongos and suits players who want a natural feel without natural-skin upkeep.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a torn or stretched head on a 6.75-inch bongo
- Players who want calfskin feel but play in changing humidity
- Hand drummers wanting warmer tone than a plain synthetic head
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bongos of any other diameter — head size must match exactly
- Players wanting a bright, cutting, high-slap crack
- Anyone needing a congas or djembe head; these are not interchangeable
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
S-Series
Remo's mounting format for hand drums. The head must match the hoop and hardware style your bongo uses.
Detail 03
6.75 inch
The smaller macho drum of a bongo pair. The larger hembra drum takes a different size head.
Detail 04
Synthetic head
Holds pitch through humidity and temperature swings, unlike natural skin, which loosens in damp weather.
Detail 05
Hand drum head
The surface texture matters as much as the tone. A coated head grips the hand differently than a slick clear one.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing head — 6.75 inch is one specific bongo size, not a range
- 02Single head only. The other drum of your bongo pair needs its own size
- 03Confirm your bongos take S-Series heads before ordering
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit both of my bongos?
No. Bongos are a pair of different diameters. This 6.75-inch head fits one drum only; the other needs its own matching size.
02How does Fiberskyn sound compared to a clear head?
Warmer and drier, with less high-end ring and shorter sustain. The fiber coating adds mass and damping, so slaps sound less glassy.
03Will it stretch out like real skin?
It is synthetic, so it holds tension far better than natural skin and does not go slack in humid conditions. It will still settle after mounting.
04How do I know what size head my bongos need?
Measure the drum diameter across the shell, not the rim. Common bongo pairs run around 6.75 inches for the small drum and larger for the other.
