The Evans Tri-Center Extended Collar Conga Drumhead (model EC1175E) brings modern reliability to hand percussion. Designed for congas with extended-collar counter hoops such as LP Giovanni series drums, it plays like a fine animal hide yet keeps its tuning through heat, humidity and air-conditioned rooms, a real advantage over natural skin heads. Its two plies of 10-mil film with a patented 2.25-inch Tri-Center patch between them produce a bright, penetrating slap with a full, round low-end. The patch adds weight to the centre and minimises overtones, strengthening the fundamental tone so your conga cuts through a salsa band, praise team or percussion section. An etched texture simulates the touch and feel of natural skin, and the laser-cut extended collar conforms even to out-of-round shells. This head suits serious congueras and congueros, percussion sections in churches and schools, and anyone in Nairobi replacing cracked or weather-worn skin heads on an 11.75-inch conga.
