Who makes the best ones for less than $100? Your informed opinions please...?
And, if getting better heads is worth doing, to make cheaper bongos play better, I'd appreciate info like that.
I'm a beginner who wants to eventually double on them, say, after I'm done playing a few sax choruses and somebody else is playing...
Thanks in advance!
PS: I destroyed a cheap set of bongos trying to get the natural skin heads to come up to the pitches that I heard Jack Costanzo or someone like that recommend... Was that because it was the wrong heads, or because the rings that hold the heads on were cheap? The rings got all deformed before I noticed what I was doing... and I never did bring the pitch up high enough for that "snap" I was trying to get.
