Perfect thickness for my quinto. No overtones and slaps are effortless. I will soon order the same skin for the conga when I get the funds. Thank you for making this drum sound as good as it can.

My order arrived in one week! Great service.
What a difference these heads make! I ordered the Middle East Steer head (thick) and couldn’t be more pleased. Makes my drum sound like a million bucks. I will be ordering for my conga and tumba next.
The sound and tone are great, and that is straight out of the box! They will only get better. I can’t wait until the head has some use and settles in.

These heads just sound amazing. To be honest my Toca Limited Edition sound like up scale drum .
