Black Gold™ Buffalo is Brazilian, and available in natural, amber and chocolate colors. On congas, it produces warm to very dry tones and rich bass. It also has medium to low action and a slightly dimpled supple playing surface.
Skin thickness is recommended relative to the shell size- the larger the shell, the thicker the skin. This produces a balanced sound across the entire set of drums.
