Camel Skin??? Wow, I have never heard of using Camel Skin on a Conga. How does that sound? The drum looks fantastic, Manito's reputation for quality seems to be skyrocketing.

p.s...... Do you know if your skin came from a single hump or a double hump camel? Just curious haha.

I know it sounds crazy, (Camel skin), right?! I am going with Manito's recommendation on this 100%! Meanwhile...I do not have the drum yet, I hope to receive it at the beginning of the month. I also ordered a second pre mounted
steer head..just in case! I will post photos and video once I get the drum.
