Made a decision and purchased a set of matadors. I like the. But they don't have the sound I hear from others. Now I am sure a lot of that is me but would like a good set of heads to make sure I start off on the right foot. I see remo has a few but can't really see what the diff would be. As always thank you

Manito is a member of this forum and a good guy to deal with. You can't go wrong working with him.
But, there are a zillion opinions posted here on bongo skins - search around.
Lots of pros are using synthetic skins and they sound good.
I've just started using a horse hide on the macho and it sounds great to me.

Hembra. I will take a couple of pics and let you guys know how it sounds
