I have a set of LP aspire bongos. The original heads were less than dog chew grade. I reskinned them with medium steer hide but the hardware is far too weak to allow me to tune them as high as I like. (sidebar here: I only use them as an accent sound) I have some 1mm calf skin and some 1.5mm calf skin.
Ernesto--what is your advice? Any other options?
