Greetings to the Orchestral, Ethnic & World community.

I have owned an (entry-level) 12" RMV pandeiro for several years and am currently dissatisfied with its sound. The "jingles" sound nice and dry, but the sound of the head is a bit off.

I am thinking of swapping the synthetic head for a new one, maybe a natural skin one. Can I use a regular drum kit head (i.e., a tom-tom head) on it? I would really hate to (special) order anything from overseas, because I want to keep the price down.

Thanks in advance for your advice,
++aldo
