EVANSTri-Center Bongo Head Combo Pack
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A matched pair of Evans bongo heads sold together, for players replacing worn or dented factory heads on a standard bongo set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Percussionists reheading both bongos at once
- Players who want a matched pair rather than mismatched replacements
- Aging or dented factory heads on a starter bongo set
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Congas, djembes or timbales — wrong diameters
- Players wanting natural skin feel and sound
- Anyone needing only one drum rehidden — pack pricing is wasteful
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Tri-Center design
The head is built with concentric zones, which tames overtones and keeps the slap tone focused.
Detail 03
Synthetic head
Holds pitch through humidity and temperature swings far better than natural skin.
Detail 04
Under $70 for the pair
Roughly the cost of two singles, so there is no penalty for doing the full job.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your bongo shells before ordering — bongo sizing is not standardized
- 02No tuning wrench included; you need the key your bongos use
- 03Expect to retune several times over the first week as heads seat
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my bongos?
Only if the diameters match. Measure the shell across the bearing edge, not the rim or hardware, and compare before ordering.
02How many heads come in the pack?
Two — one for each drum in a bongo pair.
03Do I need special tools?
A tuning key that fits your bongo lugs. Bongos vary between brands, so use the key that came with the drums.
04Do synthetic heads sound like skin?
No. They are brighter and more consistent, and they hold tuning through weather changes. Skin players notice the difference immediately.
