RemoMondo T2 Djembe/Ashiko Drum Head Medium 2.5 x 12 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A synthetic replacement head for 12-inch djembes and ashikos, medium weight. For hand drummers who want a head that ignores humidity.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Outdoor drum circles where skin heads go slack in damp weather
- Replacing a split or stretched head on a 12-inch djembe
- Players who want consistent pitch across seasons
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Purists who want the feel and sound of natural goatskin
- Drums whose head seat measures anything other than 12 inches
- Stick-played drums; this is built for hands
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
Medium weight
Middle ground between slap crack and bass depth. Thinner heads slap brighter; thicker ones hit lower and harder on hands.
Detail 03
Synthetic, not skin
Tuning holds through humidity and temperature swings. No pre-play warming or drying needed.
Detail 04
Djembe and ashiko fit
The collar depth is what makes it work on tall, rope- or lug-tuned hand drums rather than a standard tom.
Detail 05
Mondo profile
A deeper-collared design intended for the taller shell shape of a djembe, not a flat drumset head.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your drum's bearing edge diameter and collar depth before ordering.
- 02Head only. Rings, rope, and hardware are not included.
- 03Rope-tuned drums need a full re-lacing to fit a new head.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I know if I need 12 inch?
Measure straight across the top playing edge of your drum. That measurement, not the shell's widest point or its height, determines head size.
02Does it sound like a real skin head?
It has its own voice. Synthetic heads give a consistent slap and bass but a different texture and feel under the hand than goatskin.
03Will the tuning drift outdoors?
Far less than natural skin. Synthetic material does not absorb moisture, so pitch stays stable in damp or cold conditions.
04Can I fit this myself?
On a lug-tuned drum, yes. On a rope-tuned djembe it means re-lacing the whole drum, which takes time and some practice.
