dear friends
at last week I ask about plastic heads for pearl primero 10'' 11'' inches.
I know now that REMO company have two model for my primero congas
1: fiberskyn
m4-s100-f5 10"
m4-s110-f5 11"

and
2:nuskyn
m4-s100-n1 10"
m4-s110-n1 11:

my question is:
the fiberskyn and the nuskyn are both from plastic.
what is the difference between them?
please at your answer write what kind you recommend for me/what is the best sound/and the most important for me is:
I need the head that not doing a lot of problems at wheather changes for example
at winter- because of the cold, the pich is change and you have a big problem to play
thank a lot

Niether one of those will have issues with weather.  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 Smiley  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 Smiley
