Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 1:04 pmI have SkynDeep's on my Matador quinto and conga, and currently a cowhide on this original LP Palisades Park tumba. Wanted to put Skyndeep on this one but Remo didn't have any recommendation nor were they optimistic about a fit for a standard rim. Would like to have a quality synthetic head for high humidity exterior gigs for this drum and keep my standard rim but have yet to dig up one that will fit. Any recommendations/experience with synthetic heads with traditional rims would be extremely helpful.

Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 11:21 pmI had the same problem in San Diego doing outside gigs afternoon to dusk.
Fitted Nuskins with no problem on trad rimmed Conga and Tumba Matadors. The Tumba was ringy like hell but easily solved with foam inside and a bit of duct tape underneath.
Thanks for advice CongaMyk
As they are breaking in it's getting less ringy.
I am quite pleased with the results and notice no after effects whatsoever on my finger joints after a 3 or 4 set gig. Previously I had mules and often felt it at the end of the night.
