Find the Perfect Remo Conga Drumhead

Measure Drum Bearing Edge

Although the manufacture’s stated catalog drum size is good to know it is not crucial to determine which drumhead crown size to use. The counter hoop measurements are the most important especially if the drum make and model are older versions or an unknown brand. The drum size at the bearing edge is difficult to measure accurately as it has a rounded edge with no reference point to start or end. You can use a tape measure to get an approximate size which will help to identify the head size range. With the above variations in mind it is best to remove and measure your counter hoop(s).

Counter Hoop Rims

Listed are various styles of Traditional and Radius curved conga Counter Hoop Rims found in modern manufacturing. Referring to the Counter Hoop Rim Style Chart, determine which counter hoop shape best matches your particular counter hoop. Measure the ID and OD dimensions of the counter hoop. Some counter hoops will not necessarily have an OD dimension. The cut and front views of each hoop style in the accompanied chart show how the counter hoop works and fits with Remo's Symmetry Conga drumhead.
