Here is some possible good news I heard on another tribe. Thier website is www.remo.com/
"There's very good news that I heard today. We took a workshop with Issam Houshan (it was fantastic!) and he had one of the new "skin deep" Remo doumbek heads fitted on one of his Egyptian tablas. I asked him, how he got one to fit and then he told me the good news. He has convinced Remo to start making these heads to fit Egyptian style doumbeks. This is something that we in the ME drum community have been asking for for many years, but it seems that it took one of their endorsers to have it finally sink in. These will be available in January of 2007.
The "skin deep" heads are a new head for them which is synthetic but it much more closely approximates fishskin than any of the other heads out there. It is the same head that is used on the Remo Ergo Drum Doumbek, but in sizes that are made for the existing Egyptian doumbeks. Issams was mounted on one of his Gawharet El Fan doumbeks.
This is good news, YAY!"

Re: New drum Heads
Wed, December 20, 2006 - 11:28 AMI am starting to see write ups on the new head and they are very positive.
The official release is January and the name is SKYNDEEP by Remo.
They are suppose to have Djembe and doumbek heads.
I have some calls out and when I find out the price I will let you know how much and where to get them.
