You can definitely put real skin on timbales! Calf is considered to be the best. As for pre mounted skins, I know that Earthtone is still in business and you can buy ready to go calfskin heads from then. You can also find new old stock heads on eBay from the drum companies of yesterday.
Hope this helps,
