Symmetry Nuskyn Conga drumheads provide natural, warm, and full-bodied sound with enhanced low and mid-range frequencies, without any lingering high-pitched overtones
The Symmetry Nuskyn® Conga drumhead is our most versatile Conga drumhead in terms of fit. Nuskyn provides natural, warm, and full-bodied sound with enhanced low and mid-range frequencies, without any lingering high-pitched overtones. 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.
Conga drum manufacturing is non-standardized, leading to variations in drum shapes, collar heights, and tuning hooks, which can affect drumhead replacement. While the drum’s catalog size is useful, the counter hoop dimensions are the most critical factor in selecting the correct drumhead. High tension during tuning will typically shape the drumhead to the drum's bearing edge, centering it properly. Remo’s drumheads, tested by specialists and endorsed by artists, are a top alternative to rawhide skins.
Remo Symmetry Conga drumheads are designed specifically for non-Remo model Congas equipped with the latest version 'contoured/radial' hoops, i.e rims, as a standard among conga manufacturers-beginning since the late 90's. (If you have traditional hoops or would prefer tucked conga drumheads, please see other knowledge base post to confirm if drumheads are available for your model or contact our support center). Symmetry drumheads are specifically engineered to conform to the shells bearing edge with tension for optimum tone, pitch stability, and projection. Denotation: 'D' in the model number, denotes the inner diameter (ID) of the Aluminum Ring. D1 being the smallest, D4 being the largest-all specific to the type/model of the drum. Note the Crown size, i.e.playing surface remains the same: 9.75", 10.75" 11.06", 11.25”, 11.75", 12.25” 12.50", 13”.Due to non-standardized conga drum manufacturing, drumhead fit may vary...make sure to center and level as you tension for optimum performance. All listed models have been fit tested by Remo staff.
