We recently upgraded the flesh hoop and skin on this Rhythm Tech 12.5″ tumba for a customer in NC. Manito fabricated the flesh hoop from 1/4″ round 304 stainless steel. I mounted 2.2mm chocolate steer, as well as cleaned and lubricated the tuning lugs. This is the first time I’ve worked on a Rhythm Tech conga. The bottom ring is plastic, but the side plates are in the correct orientation.
