Goatskin responds more dynamically and produces a warmer, more organic tone, though it is sensitive to humidity and temperature.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"btn4mt-design\" class=\"rb-acc-panel-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rb-acc-panel\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInside T-Bar Tunable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inside T-bar tuning system lets you adjust head tension on the fly. Tighten for a crisp, high-pitched crack or loosen for deep, booming bass tones.
