Thanks again Cuco. I'm very happy that you say that. I never would have considered starting if it weren't for your advice. Thanks.

Thank you for giving me credit but I just put you on the right path you did the work and a great on at that.

As for the skins I recommend that you try calf heads on those baby's. Timbales were not meant to be used with plastic heads and this is one of the reason that they ring. By using calf head not only the drum part of them sounds better but your cascara (Side Playing) will sound much better. I get my Heads from Stern Tanning and you can mention to Jeff to give you same quality American heads Ready mounted heads He sells me. I guaranty you will love the sound.
