We just received an order of high quality Middle Eastern Steer skins. It produces a warm and classic sound with crisp slaps, round open tones, rich bass and controlled overtones. It has medium action, very smooth and somewhat supple playing surface, and is ideal for live and studio applications. It is the most versatile skin type we offer, and our shop favorite! I mount these skins on every conga Manito produces.
