Have you replaced your heads yet since your last post? I selling my last remo skyndeep head and will stick with animal skins from now on.Manito is a great source of information.

Please let me know what type of skin you choose. I am familiar with mules and love them. But I have no experience with calf or steer and unfortunately, I don't know any conga players much less those who have them to try them out. I am saving up for some replacement heads if I go that way, and may contact Manito to see what kinds of skins he recommends and what thickness would be good for each size.
Can you also let me know who you buy the heads from? It would be good to know what skin dealers others use and how they are. My mules came from L and H, but Mike is no longer in business...
Thanks!
