Calf heads Last viewed: 17 minutes ago

Hey guys and gals, what is the next closest thing to a calf head in terms of what is currently offered on the market? I'm not crazy about actually using calf due to them being rather finicky with weather and all of that.

I found Remo Skyntones to be slightly more "calf-like" than Fiberskyns, but they're still quite different. There's nothing like the real thing!

It isn't just a matter of replicating a particular sound.There is no substitute for the feel of calf… its resilience/bounce is an essential characteristic.

So is it easier to do a roll on them then?
