Whether you’re replacing parts on a bongo drum or you would just like to know its anatomy, it can be helpful to know the different sections and parts of a bongo drum. I made this diagram to be a helpful visualization for the discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern Bongo Drums are made up of the following components: a drum head is stretched over a bearing edge, which is held in place by a hoop called the rim.
