Rawhide conga 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.
Ramon "Mongo" Santamaria was one of the most respected conga players of all time, and this series of instruments from Meinl was designed to honor his memory. This head is designed to mimic his timeless sound on this series.
