The perfect size might depend on your preferences. Conga heads typically come in three standard sizes, but you can find additional sizes if you want a special model suited for a particular task. The small ones have an 11-inch head and are suited for smooth tunes that don’t require a lot of power.
The middle size is the most popular and it doesn’t exceed 11.75 inches. Experts recommend you buy at least two of those, as most songs require a double setup. And lastly, there are the Tumbadoras, which measure up to 12.5 inches. The height might vary accordingly.
