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 Pearl Primero series is designed to be a pro-level series, but with slightly smaller sizes and lighter hardware. The result is the perfect set of congas for schools, gigging percussionists, or anyone looking to get a quality set of congas for an affordable price.
