If the time has come to change the head on your bongo drum, or it is ripped, worn out, or just not sounding right, you might consider replacing the head of the drums with the Combo Pack. This Evans Tri-Center Bongo Head Combo Pack includes two replacement heads for your Evans bongo drums. Measuring 7.25 inches and 8.625 inches, respectively, these bongo drum heads are laser cut for optimal precision with the proprietary center dot on the head that helps to enhance the rich sound of the bongos and eliminate unwanted tones. The drum heads are constructed to mimic the feeling and texture of animal skin or rawhide without raising any ethical concerns as they use only artificial materials. In addition, this model of bongo head is designed, manufactured, and engineered in the U.S.. You'll also appreciate the natural-looking shell and lustrous rim. With a feel that is amazingly good on the drummer's hands, this bongo head delivers high and low frequencies with richness of sound. Moreover, these heads will last through drum-circle and outdoor festival meetings in the most changing and unpredictable weather. This head for your instrument is meant to provide the ultimate performance in diverse weather conditions. Even the most ardent bongo fanatic will find this combo pack a worthwhile investment in fun. Because the bongo often needs to be tightened for the best sounds, replacement skins are more durable when they are synthetic, and the problem of ripped skin may be therefore avoided. In fact, without the use of animals, bongos with a synthetic skin offer richness of tone and durability while maintaining ethical standards. Moreover, with these two new heads in the Combo Pack, you can get creative and add a splash of paint to a head for those festival and drum-circle events. Some drummers wonder if they can use sticks on these drum heads. For those players who prefer to use drumsticks to play, these heads are able to take it, especially if using timbale and a light touch. The edge and center are the least dense areas of the drum head. It is recommended to avoid striking the edges and center, but many musicians enjoy the effects created with these accessories. Evans is the winner of the 2001 Drummie Award from Drum!, an educational drumming magazine, for the most innovative drum head for the conga, so you know the products are highly praised and trusted.
