Hello congaplace, This is a mini requinto,from pearl corporation,Afro Percurssion,from the 90's.Solid staves ( probably rubber wood),rubber base for more confort,tradicional rims and 8mm tunning lugs. Is a 8 requinto,very light and solid.I put some top notch skins from Germany(thanks Mike for the tip)from Banux companny.2mm white cow skin.
Now that looks like a great little drum as it were, Joazinho! I am glad the people at Banux found you a very nice skin, the people there know what they are doing! That requinto has got a really cool old-skool sound, congrats, brother! Wait until you have cranked it up even higher...
