I recently purchased three Remo skyndeep crimplock series congaheads for my LP matadors(quinto,conga,tumba).They fit just great but I want to opt for a warmer sound with nuskyns series or cowhide for fiberglass congas!(These heads are in brand new condition as I have hardly played them at all).I currently have them listed on ebay for under $100.00 for all three.IF anyone is interested please get in touch via PM so we can work out a deal as I would like to part with them asap.I will also consider a trade.AIso,if anyone has sage advice on alternative heads/skins,it is welcomed!I also will be posting LP Giovanni galaxy series bongos(minus the heads) as soon as I can provide some pictures.
And kudos to all the great blogs posted by the members of this great site!As a budding percussionist now in my 60s,I learn every time I review the many comments,suggestions,advice given!Thanks so much!

I also like mule skins on LP Matador's. Manito Percussion now has a large variety of skins including pre mounted mule skins for your drums. I have the same bongos as you and I also put a Manito mule skin on the macho and a steer skin on the hembre they sound great.
