remo fiberskyn3
Haven't put one on my set, but I have a Remo tumba with a fiberskyn head that I play along with my wood-shelled CP quinto and conga, both of which have regular skins. I dig the way the Remo contrasts with the CPs--the fiberskyn sounds warmer and more "ballsy"--that is, deeper--than the regular skins. I imagine it'd give a warmer sound on a set drum. If I were to install one on a bass, lou, I'd put it on the beater side.
I have also played Remo bongos with the fiberskyn heads--and admittedly most drummers don't play set with their hands--but I like the way the fiberskyns feel when you're playin' fast or a long roll...your hands don't hurt so much!
Hope this helps...
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
