These codes refer to the inner diameter (ID) of the aluminum ring, which determines how the drumhead fits within the counter hoop rim of your conga.
For example, in the model number M4-1175-F6-D1, the 'D1' indicates the ID of the aluminum ring—this is the part that sits inside the counter hoop.
This ID sizing system helps accommodate variations in counter hoop rim dimensions across different conga drum manufacturers.
Important: While the crown size (or playing surface) remains the same across all Symmetry Conga heads, the D-code allows for a precise fit based on your drum’s rim design.
Available crown sizes: 9.75", 10.75", 11.06", 11.25", 11.75", 12.25", 12.50", and 13".

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.
