RemoMondo T2 Djembe/Ashiko Drum Head Medium 2.5X14 In
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 14-inch synthetic head for djembes and ashikos with 2.5 inches of collar depth. For players who want a head that ignores humidity.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Outdoor drum circles where skin heads go slack in damp air
- Replacing a torn or worn head on a 14-inch djembe
- Players who want consistent pitch without retuning constantly
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Traditionalists who want the response of a natural goatskin head
- Djembes with shells that aren't 14 inches across the bearing edge
- Anyone needing a head for a standard drumkit 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
2.5-inch collar depth
The vertical skirt that wraps the shell. Too short and it won't reach the rings; too long and it bunches.
Detail 03
14-inch diameter
Measured across the drum's bearing edge, not the shell's widest point. Measure before ordering.
Detail 04
Fits both djembe and ashiko
One head covers two shell profiles, though the ashiko's straighter taper changes how the collar sits.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your bearing edge diameter, not the shell body or the old head
- 02Rope, rings and tuning hardware are not included
- 03Reheading a rope-tuned drum takes time and a full retensioning
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my 14-inch djembe?
It fits drums measuring 14 inches at the bearing edge with a collar depth of 2.5 inches or less. Measure the playing surface across the top rather than the shell's widest point.
02Does it sound like a real skin head?
No. Synthetic heads are brighter and more even, with less of the crack and warmth a goatskin gives. The trade is that pitch stays stable.
03Do I need to tune it after installing?
Yes. Any rehead requires full retensioning, and the head will settle over the first few sessions and need touching up.
04Can I use this on an ashiko?
Yes, it's made for both. The ashiko's straight cone taper means the collar sits differently than on a djembe's curved shell.
