I think a certain change in playing technique must be made, when changing from conga/djembe to timbal, but not a big change. Timbal rims are rounded (no sharp ends, or tuning lugs on your hands way) and most of all head is so tightened and so responsive that you won't need to hit hard to get high volume, crackling sounds.
But if you are still developing your hand techniques, than changing to timbal may cause you some unwanted "technique mix"...
