djembe brands: mid east or meinl?
im about to purchase a 13" head djembe, and am having a really hard time deciding between these two brands. basically what its coming down to is wood, mango wood or mahogany?? i hear mid east drums are made from a better wood (mango wood) w/ a lesser likelihood to crack, but ive always heard mahogany is the best material for making drums.
for all you hard core djembe connoisseurs out there: what significance is there in the body's shape between the two drums??

and finally anyone know of where i could purchase a rubber/plastic ring to place on the bottom (the way toca drums have) to protect the drum??
I would go with TOCA. They have a great sound and really good quality control; which is especially important with regards to the skin.
