TOCA Sympatico® Drum Heads Sound Comparison

An amazing evolution to its line of Nesting Drums, the new Sympatico System of tunable, interchangeable drums and heads have changed how lightweight drums are perceived.

By design, lightweight drums must be portable, durable and, well, light, easy to carry and transport. Unfortunately, the most common way to achieve this desired outcome is to eliminate bulky and heavy tuning mechanisms. In their place is a pre-tuned head. It does the job, it is definitely light, and durable, but the sound is what you get.

The Sympatico System solves the issue with its innovative, and proprietary, internal tuning design. It's significantly lighter than traditional tuning systems, easy to use, and there's no extra bulky, heavy, hardware attached to the side of the drum to get in your way. In fact, it's hidden inside!

And the heads are designed to simply integrate with Toca's existing line of Freestyle II Nesting Drums including Djembes, Tom-Toms, Djun-Djuns & Ashikos. If you already have one of these instruments, pop on a new Sympatico tunable head and bring your playing, your sound, to a whole new level.

The Sympatico System consists of two types of heads. Our Fiber head provides bright, high tones. Our Synthetic Leather heads provide bass, low tones. Each comes either as a tuneable head or as a pretuned head. All heads come in a variety of sizes.
