Re: Most versatile Djembe,conga or doumbek??

I'm only a beginner, but I did try a doumbek with a fishskin head once and
was utterly amazed at the bass that came from this itty bitty drum. The same
size and style of doumbek with other heads did not sound anywhere close. I
tried out a few different ones at the shop, and the shopkeeper confirmed
that fishskin heads did give more low end response.
