I agree the old school thick white heads sounded great and if you listen to yesterdays music you can hear it but I think the industry is headed now days towards the more ringy sound. Just listen to Remo Skyn deeps, Nuskyns and Fyberskyns, it seems their trying to sound as close to water buffalo as they can. I was in California Percussion store banging on all the top notch congas from every brand. They had a complete set of Signature Heritage Series that had the thick white heads, I'm talking 3/16 thick and they were the only congas that had that old school sound out of all the Lp's, Gon Bops, Meinls Tocas ect.
