Title: Best bongo head for old-school sound Post by: dannydrumperc on August 24, 2006, 01:07 PM What kind of hide should I use for that old '70s salsa bongo sound (both macho & hembra)? That sound was quite dry and punchy. Also, is there any synthetic drumheads that resemblance this sound?

Try mule skins or cowskins. Saludos, Jorge Ginorio Title: Re: Best bongo head for old-school sound Post by: bongo on August 27, 2006, 06:53 PM Sol Percussion made some really nice bongos using a horse skin Macho (small drum) and a cow skin Hembra (large drum).

Another friend also suggested cow (for the hembra). Knew nothing about horse (?). I'll check Funky Tradition. |
