Overview

The Latin Percussion LPM910 is a 3.5-inch replacement head engineered specifically for the LP Mini Tunable Bongo. When the original head on your mini bongo wears out, loses its tone, or sustains damage, this drop-in replacement restores the drum to its intended sound and playability. The fiberglass construction gives the head a bright, focused attack that cuts through in practice sessions, acoustic jams, or studio recordings where the miniature bongo serves as a color percussion element.

Installation is straightforward — the head is designed to seat directly onto the LP Mini Tunable Bongo's shell and secure via the drum's existing tuning lugs. By adjusting the lugs evenly around the bearing edge, you can dial in your preferred pitch from a tight, high pop to a slightly more relaxed tone. At just 3.5 inches in diameter, this is a specialty part built for one specific instrument, so it's worth keeping a spare on hand to avoid downtime if your current head shows signs of wear.
