How tight should Bongo heads be?

People generally like to have their bongos sounding bright, lively and with a higher pitch. This means you should aim to tune your bongos fairly tight, whilst tuning evenly around the drum. The two individual drums that make up a set of bongos are known as the Macho and the Hembra respectively.

Which drums do you tighten right before resist?

1. Let’s start with the bottom snare drum head. Turn the snares off, take your drum key and tighten a tension rod down (clockwise) until you feel some resistance.

How do you maintain bongos?

Cleaning your bongo drumheads can be done with either a little water, a scent-free lotion, or a skin-safe oil in combination with a soft rag. Never use any cleaners containing bleach or ammonia or any solvents–a good rule of thumb being to only use that which you would use on your own skin without drying it out.

How do you dampen a bongo?

Tear a small piece of paper towel and fold it into a square. Now rip a piece of duct tape that is a little bit bigger than the paper towel and tape it down onto the drum close to the edge of the head. Just one of these is usually enough to really dampen the head. Moongel is a great product to keep in your stickbag.

How is Bongo skin measured?

Measure from the center of the curved edge to the center of the edge on the opposite side. The diameter of the bearing edge is likely very near to the size of your drum. Once you have this measurement, look at our conga & bongo drum head reference chart again.

Can you fix a drum?

For larger splits, it is possible to patch the drum head with smaller pieces of matching animal skin and glue, but the sound of the drum will likely suffer. In that case, consult a professional drum repair technician to see if a full replacement of the drum head is a better option.
