Rawhide bongo heads tend to have a warm, deep tone with a lot of nuance layered into the sound. Real skin heads offer a more authentic look and tone than synthetic materials offer, but they are susceptible to changes in humidity and temperature, making them more fragile.
The Meinl Marathon series is a great series for Latin percussionists on a budget. The series has an attractive price range, but it also have a competitive, authentic tone quality.
