They do have tonal differences though. The Fibreskyns are drier than the Nuskyns. Thats about it. They also have slightly different feels, which matters a bit on hand drums :) The Fibreskyn feels a bit more papery, while the Nuskyn feels a bit more suedey.
Personally I typically prefer the Nuskyns. A bit more ring, a bit clearer tone, but still warm and smooth sounding. But the Fibreskyns are a bit closer to the dryness of a more traditional sound. Ive also heard Evans makes a fine conga head as well, though I havent tried them, I believe Bart has. And just so you know its Mylar and not plastic. Similar, but different :) |
