Remo use their mystical acousticon, sonor have fiberglass shells. I've only seen Sonor's in real life, and they definitely with a change of heads, but otherwise could be nice drums.
BY the way this word "timba" sounds so good that there's always potential for confusion - in spanish timbal is timbales, in portuguese - this conical hand drum (which is a relatively new invention in Brazil), and then there's "timba" musical style in Cuba, and the percussion instruments producing company in the US. Maybe somebody know more uses of this word root?

I will get an advance delivery to test (and keep). They look like a cross between a timbal, a conga, and a Cuban Carnival drum.
