    Cool Re: Conga replacement rims

    Hey mr.mcguy!

    Do your conga shells have any identification to them (for example, a brand name logo like the LP circle)? If you know the manufacturer, contact the website, or a dealer for that make. If there is any identification inside the shell, such as a model number or when the shell was manufactured, that can help you, too.

    A 12" conga rim, for example, may come in several styles (standard rim, Comfort Curve, etc.); different makes vary in rim style, mounting hardware, etc. While heads may be interchanged from skin to synthetic, conga rims don't usually come in "one size fits all."

    Hope this helps!
