How about level of playability over the original issue drum head? Or the effort to produce the same level of sound. I've only tried a Remo Skindeep Fishskin on my El Fan Sobotie Plus and while I liked the looks and texture it seemed to take more effort to get good sound over just hearing my finger falls. I went back to the oem head.
do you know where or how to get a new leather head onto one of these drums? all info about skin replacement on UA-cam refers to the screw-on heads. is a djembe tutorial useful for this?
I like the way they sound, and I like them to be in tune with the songs my band plays. Though the lowest one is the goat-skin drum, and I don't have much control over the pitch of that.
Of the synthetics, the Skyndeep seems to sound the best.

Thank you. Very useful!
Thanks for this as I'm about to purchase Derbouka and I think I will take the option of Remo skean deep.
Let aside the natural skin, I'm positively impressed by that Remo Skyndeep. Unfortunately it doesn't exist in 22 cm / 8.6" 🙁
It does! On darbuka planet. Search for the website
Goat definitely has most natural sound. Out of the synthetics the sky deep sounded best, the others are very thin and tinny sounding.

When I asked the maker of that Savvas drum, he said it would be best if I sent it back to him to do the work.
😮😮😮🎉🎉
Why do you tune them so low

Isn't a sombaty (sp?) deeper anyway than a standard Darbuka?
I have to say the goatskin sounds of the best it sounds more original the other one is just sound like you're beating on a garbage can.
