Review: "I had the best experience buying a horse skin for my Matador macho bongo drum back in June [2019]. Superb quality: I sound like a pro with this new skin, loud pops with my slaps!!! Also, I'd like to thank Greg at Artdrum he helped me a lot - very friendly, courteous and he made sure I was a happy customer. Forgot to mention it was only $21, what a deal." ~Enrique L, San Diego, CA, 9/19
