The Symmetry Low Collar Fiberskyn® Conga drumhead is our most versatile Conga drumhead in terms of fit.
The Symmetry Fiberskyn® Conga drumhead is our most versatile Conga drumhead in terms of fit. Fiberskyn provides a superb, authentic drum sound with maximum projection, lively overtones, and the sound and feel that top percussionists prefer. Symmetry provides superior construction, and low maintenance and features a Crimplock hoop increasing stability and tuning range. Symmetry drumheads fit more Conga drum models from the various manufacturers in the industry.
Remo drumheads that fit the LP Compact Conga in sizes 11" and 11.75" include Fiberskyn, Skyndeep (with Calfskin or Black Calfskin graphics), and Nuskyn options. Fiberskyn heads are available in 10.75" and 11.75", while Skyndeep and Nuskyn heads also come in both sizes. All drumheads use Remo’s Symmetry design for optimal fit. Orders can be placed through local or online music retailers.
Symmetry is an improvement on the older Crimplock construction. Crimplock refers to the aluminum flesh-hoop crimped over the film that seats inside the channel (of the flesh-hoop) with glue. The Symmetry type is the addition of symmetrical folds around the collar that conform to the bearing edge as you tension so it's easier on your hands and provides increased projection (better contact between head and drum), tunability (how the film stretches and seats), and durability (as the head conforms, there's more tension on the collar and less stress directly on the flesh-hoop).
