MEINL Artisan Doumbek Replacement Head – 8 3/4" White Synthetic (HEAD-136)

Genuine MEINL replacement head for the Artisan Series Doumbek. The HEAD-136 uses a durable white synthetic film that delivers a cutting, clean tone with an effortless response—from deep doum strokes to sharp tek accents and finger rolls. It’s a quick, reliable way to restore clarity and projection on a well-played drum.

Key Features

• Made for MEINL Artisan Doumbeks – correct fit and seating for consistent tuning and tone.

• White synthetic film – stable across temperature and humidity; durable for touring, teaching, and daily practice.

• Fast, articulate response – speaks easily for rolls and ornamentation; stays clean at higher tension.

• 8 3/4" diameter – the standard Artisan Doumbek size (check your rim/hoop before ordering).

• Drop-in replacement – straightforward install; seat evenly and bring up to pitch gradually.

Why Choose This Head

If your current head is dented, stretched, or dull, this OEM MEINL head restores the snappy highs and full lows Artisan doumbeks are known for—without the variability of natural skins. It’s consistent on stage, in the studio, and in changing climates.
