FAQ
What are the Remo Symmetry Conga drumhead options for the Schallock Conga Model?
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.

The Dual Slider Percussion Strap is ergonomically designed to provide balance and comfort by evenly distributing the weight of drums across both shoulders. Available in three sizes—Small (90"), Medium (110"), and Large (130")—it suits drummers of different heights and can be adjusted for single or two-point connections depending on the drum's size and weight. This strap is ideal for both hand drums and larger bass drums, offering customizable support and mobility.
To replace and tune a Remo Awe Talking drum drumhead, first remove the rubber trim, release the rope tension, and remove the drumheads and rings. After replacing the drumheads, rethread the rope through the ring hooks and apply light tension to tune the drum. Finally, adjust the pitch by winding a thinner rope around the middle of the drum shell and replace the rubber trim.
To replace and tune a Remo Mondo™ djembe drumhead, first remove all drum tuning rods and parts in a crisscross method, replace the drumhead, and reassemble. For tuning, tighten the rods in a crisscross pattern, adjusting the tension gradually to achieve the desired pitch. The drumhead will stretch over time, and replacement is needed when the tuning hardware bottoms out.
