To mount flat or rolled skins on your drum, it is important to have a large enough skin size to make it easy. Having a slightly larger skin can make the difference between an easy job and a struggle.
We recommend the following sizes:
For up to 9 3/4″ Requinto – 16″ or 18″ skin.
For 9 3/4″- 11″ Quinto – 18″ or 20″ skin.
For 11″ up to 12 1/2″ Congas and Tumbas – 20″ skin.
Over 12 1/2″ Tumbas and Super Tumbas – 22″ skin.
