Excellent instructional video! I just picked up a tube of lanolin cream at the local corner drug store and now know how to properly care for my conga drum head. Thanks for posting!
"manteca de Corojo", aka palm oil, is often used in the caribean islands, I use "manteca de cacao" that's similar to lipstick... but the next time they need a refresh, I will try the linoleum hand cream, it should work very well, thanks for the video 👍🏽
Hey, What a Great a Video!..I just purchased what I figured was an African Drum at an Estate Sale...And then you mentioned the warning about the Djembes...and I'm like "hey google, what the hecks a Djembe?"🤔lol And So that's what my new instrument is called! I Thank you so much for all the info.👍😉🇨🇦
Nice! This is exactly what I need. Accompanying my neighbor with some hand drumming as he sings otherwise acapella on our National Nite Out event in August. Also, I HAD to subscribe as you were at 666 and I wanted to be the Neighbor of the Beast. 🙏🏽✌🏽💙 from Minnesota
Thank you for the great content and inspiration. I bought a used of bongos, and then watched your video about recommending congas to begin with, so picked up a 30 year old pair of those. The drum head is original, feels a little sticky, cleaned it with a rag like you said. I’ll go buy some hand lotion tomorrow.
I use pure shea butter on anything that is called skin. Sometimes cocoa butter. Sometimes coconut oil. Depends on the indoor environment and time of year. But anything I put on my own skin, I also put on my drum skins. It works well for my drums and I.
Do you put bacon grease on your skin after a bath or shower? Skin is skin. I use the same moisturiser on my drum skins as I do on my own skin. Skin is skin.

Can you do a tutorial on caring for synthetic conga heads?
Como siempre excelente Mr Kalani thank you por el Consejo seguiremos esperando más vídeos y consejos de percusión. Bendiciones.
Thank you for helping us understand more about percussion. I just orders my bongo galaxy Giovanni gold accent set. Can not wait to try it
This makes me want to try rubbing my drums with sheep wool 😄 just rub the lanolin back on. Thanks for the info!
Thank you !
I use palm butter, feels like Sebum (Sebum is a naturally produced skin oil that protects it from drying out).
Thanks for your tipps!
My teacher told me to clean skins with milk. It works very good 👍
Thank you very much. Great info.
Thanks bro... I'll keep them living long
Thank you
I'll try it. I personally use virgin olive oil
Nice!

Brother… you don’t leave any stone un turn. Everything to know about drums? I know where to go. Thanks!

Thsnk you!
How do you clean a yellowed drum head (for my djembe)?
I've heard that Shea Butter is good for thin djembe goat skins - any thoughts?
Thanks Kalani!
I've heard that too. I would use it very sparingly, since it's oily.

I heard about Johnsons paste wax after sanding a new install of a skin. What do you think?
I have always used coconut oil when my conga head seams dry. Is that ok?
Did you figure out if this was ok?
Hello, only on the top sitde? Not on the the part near the ring? Thanks for your answer.
How can I tighten a loose bongo drum that has no tuning pegs? Its just a riveted fixed head. Thanks
Old way was over heat...a light bulb or and drum as the heat tightenes and drumming tightens even...for bongos
Can I get dejembe head cover
is it bad to leave bongos tunes up 24/7. Like am i supposed to loosen them every time im not playing?
it puts the lotion on the skin..... Nah, not weird.
Just did my LP's. Thanks for the tips
What about bacon grease?
Do you put bacon grease on your skin after a bath or shower? Skin is skin. I use the same moisturiser on my drum skins as I do on my own skin. Skin is skin.
🤣😂😆
Have Lanolin nipple cream.. will that work ??- seems a little thick.......
@@bongopirate0672 did you ever try this?
GREAT 🇮🇱 INFORMATION.
My dog peed on my bongos. Was about to wipe down with Mr.Clean; I’m going to try your method first.
Please get to what we want to know about. Sorry for being blunt
