I have my heart set on a tom with rawhide heads. I am thinking more of the native american or conga head styles than the calf skin or remo fiber skin, I think this will complement my hand made native and oriental flutes pretty well.
Any suggestions on the tom hardware? Does the bearing edge matter, is there anything special in the hoop? It seems extra tensioner space might be nice. Would I be able to use the ring from a plastic head if I tuck my own, or do I need a special ring? What about moisture on the wood?
