skins - new skins

[congadreamer]

I'm a beginner.I have a set of LP Fuego 11" & 11.75" congas
and would like to replace the skins. I bought Remo M7-1106-N6 for the 11", but dosen't fit. The outside diameter of the 11" is 13 inches and the 11.75 is 14 inches. I need some help.

Alafia Abure Congadreamer!
Espero que todo este bien contigo mi pana!

You know, if you "search" the forum for the topic "Remo heads" you might find the thread, or actually there have been a couple of them addressing this question/problem.

As for me, well I only use natural skins, it's just my preference mi pana!

Suerte! y bien benido a este forum, hablanos de ti!

Thanks Alafia. I'm from Puerto Rico,retired.New in the study of percussion(student), but an old salsero, of the "rumba callejera". I know the procedure to change the natural skin, but I only want to Know where I get the skin already prepared(ex. Remo Nuskyn)that fit my LP 11' and 11.75".

Yeah he wants a head with rim ready to install on drum, I read a lot about the remo and evans heads they are good but one thing they all lack is good identification on what fits what. I see a lot of people order an 11' head or 11-3/4 etc and it wont fit their drum because it really was designed for another style drum and rim. I think these companies need to beef up thier research work in getting more model info for us to use in ordering the proper heads.

just my $0.02

I would be leary of ordering any head unless I read it fits my exact model, or someone posts they have my model and "X" head fits well.
