RemoR-Series Skyndeep Bongo Head Calfskin 7.15 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 7.15" synthetic bongo head with a calfskin-look print, sized for the larger hembra drum. For players who want a natural look without gut's weather problems.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn hembra head on a 7.15" bongo
- Outdoor and humid gigs where real skin shifts pitch
- Players who want traditional looks with stable tuning
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone whose bongo hembra is not 7.15 inches
- Purists who want the feel of real rawhide
- Macho (smaller) drum replacement — wrong size
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
Skyndeep printed film
The calfskin appearance is printed into the synthetic film, so it does not wear off with hand play.
Detail 03
Synthetic head
Holds pitch through humidity and temperature swings that would detune a natural skin.
Detail 04
R-Series
R-Series is the larger-diameter head in Remo's bongo line, paired with the S-Series for the small drum.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing head, not the drum shell — bongo sizes run in odd fractions
- 02Single head only; the macho drum needs its own separate size
- 03You will need a bongo wrench to pull the old head
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for the big drum or the small one?
The big one. At 7.15 inches this is the hembra. The smaller macho drum takes a different, narrower head.
02Is it real calfskin?
No. It is a synthetic film with a calfskin image printed into it, so it looks like skin but tunes like a modern head.
03Will it hold tuning outdoors?
Yes. Synthetic heads do not absorb moisture the way rawhide does, so pitch stays put in humidity and heat.
04Do I get both heads for a pair of bongos?
No. This is one head for one drum. The other drum takes the matching smaller size.
