I am the percussionist at my church. We have 3 conga and 2 bongo drums They need new heads and the last time they were bought someone else ordered them. They were the remo synthetic heads they don't make anymore. I like the sound of natural heads but I am not always able to de-tune and retuneteh drums.
The drums are Afro brand:
Quinto “10 7/8”
Tumba “12”
Requinto “9 7/8”
The bongos are
Hembra “7”
Macho “8 ½”
All measurements are outside to outside of the bearing rim with the current heads on them.
I’m looking for some recommendations on what heads I can but that will last a good long time and will sound traditional even on stands(if that is possible)
