Cleaning conga and bongo heads
Hey, bongo brothers--what do you use to clean and/or maintain the skins on your hand drums? Some people have told me to apply an unscented lotion to the heads (much as you would to dry skin), let it soak in a bit, then wipe them dry--but it seems to me that it would mess up the sound of the skins and attract more dirt...
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
