Head 06'' Nylon
6“ nylon head by Contemporânea for tamborimSingle-layered nylon tamborim head in tamborim standard size 6'', suitable for all tamborins offered on our site.The single-layered standard nylon heads are the thinner version by Contemporânea and are very responsive with a light sound and intentionally rich in overtones due to their vibrating stronger than thicker heads. You will notice that between putting a new head on and playing on it for a while the sound will change positively. A new head might sound a bit whiny in the beginning, but as soon as it gets used to the tension and the rim of the frame, the sound will settle. As usual - good things are worth waiting for. A thin nylon head is suitable for you if you like the clear and light sound and if you want a head with an easy response.

Head 06'' Nylon P2
6“ P2 tamborim head (P2 - 190 micron: 0,19mm)   P2 heads are thinner (P2='grossa'; P3='supergrossa') than P3 heads, which is why they sound lighter, they have more overtones and transmit sound easier because they vibrate stronger than a thick head.The thickness of a head has only little influence in how long it may last. Some percussionists play a thin head just as long as a thicker one.The life career of a head begins with the moment you put it on your drum for the first time. Each time you re-tune it, the head will fit itself more onto the rim of shell being the base for the head. Also in terms of sound, time has an effect on every head. New heads often sound a bit whiny when freshly fitted onto the drum. But after a short break-in time and regular playing, the sound will quickly improve.

Head 06'' Super Nylon
Fibreglass coated 6'' Supernylon Tamborim head by ContemporâneaFibreglass coated, thick tamborim head filters out unwanted overtones.
 Supernylon heads are made of a foil 32% times thicker than standard heads and have a special fibreglass coating on the underside producing a specific sound characteristic: reduced overtones, amplified mids, powerful sound. Super nylon heads are also particularly durable. Super nylon heads are always meant to be superior heads (batter heads), as they vibrate less due to their thick foil and their coating and they are therefore not suitable as resonance heads.Poor overtones, rich mids, durable, strong drum head.Tip:Give your head some time to settle! You will notice that there is a lot of strange sounds going on when you put on a new head. At first, a new drum head might sound a bit squeaky, until it gets used to the tension and the rim, it will stretch and eventually settle nicely onto the rim and into the hardware. In short - give it some time! A new head needs a few rehearsals until it sounds really good. A super nylon head is suitable for you if you like rich, strong and overtone-poor sound and you are looking for an especially durable head.

Custom sheet with print
Samba / band logo prints on polyester vinyl sheets - easy to mount logo laminate for drum headsHaving your band logo on your drum heads has become a standard outfit for samba groups. We make sure you get your logo prints in top quality and brilliant, photo-realistic colours. Thanks to the latest printing technology, the colour of all our prints is abrasion-resistant and stays where it belongs - on the drumhead. The foil is thin but durable.Logo laminate prints are an easy and affordable way to get your band logo on surdo heads. The logo foil is printed true to colour via transfer print and can then simply be placed over the drumhead. The foil is only 0,125mm thin, so it fits easily over the drumhead and under the hardware. The colour is abrasion resistant! We print your design with high-tec transfer printers in photo-realistical quality on a suitable and tested vinyl. Now, finally, the Rio sambistas among you can also have their logo on hide heads, without any sticker residues or colour abrasion from screen printing. Our foil is not self-adhesive but is simply placed over the upper nylon head or natural skin. We will prepare your vinyl with a marked line that indicates the border of the vinyl and the trim line. The foils are best suited for all single layer drum heads.How it worksWe send you the uncut foil prints in the sizes you order.The trim line is marked, simply cut out along the dotted line with normal scissors (the marking is always outside the print area), please also see our instruction video.Unscrew the nuts and remove the rim from the batter head, put the foil over the drumhead and mount the hardware back on again. The rim will hold the foil, so it doesn't slip.Tighten up the nuts and tune your surdo like you usually do - done!For which instruments are custom vinyl prints suitable for?You can use the vinyls on basically any instrument from 6'' to 24''. However, due to their sound features, the foils are particularly suitable for surdos, as the vinyl muffles the sound slightly, taking out unwanted overtones and producing warm, strong bass lines, similar to double-ply heads.Very suitable for surdos with normal single-layer nylon heads.Very well suited for surdos with natural skins (hide heads).Moderately suitable for korino, inverted korino heads and all types of double-ply heads (hydraulic etc.), as these heads are already double-ply. Adding a third layer might muffle the head too strong.Moderately suitable for coated heads such as supernylon or Dupont Nomex. The sound will appear very muffled as the head cannot vibrate sufficiently. If this is the sound feature you're looking for, go for it anyways :)Great option for full-surface printing on drum heads from size 6''-20''.Can also be used for smaller 6''-12'' diameter instruments. The sound will be slightly muffled and drier. If you prefer thinner heads soundwise, get your logo printed on our regular custom heads instead.Logo prints on vinyl sheets - especially suitable for surdosprintable surdo sizes: 14''-24''Full-surface print till 20'', i.e. printable all the way to the outer trim. Make sure that your main motifs stay in the inner area of the rim so that they are not covered by the tension ring when you mount the hardware on the vinyl.22'' and 24'' sizes have a limited print area, please see our data sheet for details.You design - we print!photo-realistic printsno ink abrasionfull-surface prints possible till 20''especially suitable for all single layer, uncoated drum headsalso suitable for natural skins / hide headseasy and quick to mountthe optical kick for your bateria - authentic look like in RioAll our custom samba print products are special custom-made items.

Head 06'' Nylon P3
6“ P3 tamborim head (P3 - 250 Micron: 0,25mm)   P3 heads are thicker (P2='grossa'; P3='supergrossa') than P2 heads, which is why they sound more saturated, they have less overtones and transmit a slightly matt sound because they don’t vibrate as much as a thin head.The thickness of a head has only little influence in how long it may last. A thicker head might last a few gigs longer, but the difference is minimal and not worth mentioning.The life career of a head begins with the moment you put it on your drum for the first time. Each time you re-tune it, the head will fit itself more onto the rim of shell being the base for the head. Also in terms of sound, time has an effect on every head. New heads often sound a bit whiny when freshly fitted onto the drum. But after a short break-in time and regular playing, the sound will quickly improve.

Head 06'' Nylon GP3
6“ GP3 tamborim head (P3 - 250 Micron: 0,25mm) - GOPE GP3 heads are thick, single-layered synthetic heads with a saturated sound and very little overtones. They produce a full, strong and almost matt tone due to their thickness and vibration behaviour - thick heads vibrate less than than thin heads. A special feature of the GP3 heads is the distance between the aluminium rim and and the surface of the head which is larger, compared to other brands, meaning that the head will settle well on your instrument shell straight away.Take some time:The life of a head begins with the moment you put it on your drum for the first time. Each time you tune it, the head will fit itself more comfortably onto the rim of shell being the base for the head. Also in terms of sound, time has an effect on every head. New heads often sound a bit whiny when freshly fitted onto the drum. But after a short break-in time and regular playing, the sound will quickly improve. A new head also will lift the rim higher. Each time you tune your drum, the head will sit itself lower down on the base and the rim can settle. In short:New head - high rim, whiny sound.After a break-in time - low rim, nice sound.
