These are some very nice mass made Thai conga drums! I stopped by the head office of Tycoon Percussion in Bangkok Thailand a few days ago and took their Signature Series congas for a drive..they use real cowskin (not water buffalo). Of course it is the Thai "Siam Oak" (rubber tree). They are heavy and have great shapes. http://youtu.be/MHH8wNgfZ2s
