FAQ
What are the Remo Symmetry Conga drumhead options for Toca Conga models with EasyPlay hoops?
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.

Why doesn't my Fiberskyn say Fiberskyn 3? The trademark is officially 'FIBERSKYN®'. During our periodic updates with our imprints and keeping in-line with our trademark registration, all current Remo production of Fiberskyn products have the logo without the number '3'
What's the difference between Fiberskyn, Nuskyn and Skyndeep? FIBERSKYN® provides a superb, authentic drum sound for maximum projection, lively overtones, and slap tones that are easy on your hands. It is the brightest sound of all three Remo film technologies. With superior construction, the low maintenance, weather resistant FIBERSKYN drumheads will enhance your drumming experience. In fact, they are the world’s most widely recorded synthetic world percussion drumheads and are used by most top-professional drummers in the world. It produces ultimate volume with overtones drummers love, and controlled by muting with their hands. LIVELY OVERTONES EASY TO PLAY BRIGHT MID-RANGE TONES NUSKYN® sounds natural, warm, and full-bodied with enhanced low and mid-range frequencies, without any lingering high pitched overtones. NUSKYN® resembles the performance of an animal skin expanding the sound response spectrum dramatically. This means heavy hitting drummers that are accustomed to playing the animal skin will get that same response needing to pull the tone and volume out of the drum. "You know who you are. Manos de Piedra." QUICK DECAY OVERTONES SOUNDS LOOKS & FEELS LIKE ANIMAL SKIN ENHANCED LOW AND MID-RANGE FREQUENCIES SKYNDEEP® is the graphic infusion of pigment into a polyester surface making it uniquely attractive while maintaining the integrity of a great sounding drumhead. SKYNDEEP is weather resistant, producing warm mid-range tones, increases sound, volume and projection similar to the FIBERSKYN without the added fiber layer. This is all around the friendliest drumhead film for hand drummers that want a traditional sound and lifesaving hand care. Playing Skyndeep, you’ll notice your hand velocity is less than playing Nuskyn. This film technology is also very durable during transportation and from the occasional scrapes and bumps.
