Re: skyndeep
Hey ranger, have you played any congas with artificial heads? I play natural heads (water buffalo) on my CPs and, naturally, my Remo tumba has a FiberSkyn II head (pun intended?). The sound quality is different, and as leedy2 says, you have to slap the real skins a bit harder and use different hand positions to get sounds out of them than you will with the FiberSkyn (or in your case the SkynDeep). Listen to both and play them both. If you're going with synthetics, they'll be different in sound but having played 'em both, I dig the sounds I get out of them all!
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
