Cow skin doesn't have a lower pitch than goat skin, though it does give a different quality of sound. In Burkina Faso they generally put cow skin on their djembes then tune them really high. It does give an amazing sound but hurts your hands and requires less technique than goat skin, so guinean masters look down on it a bit.
Oh yeah, and these are most definitely bougarabous!
Well, these drums are bougarabou drums. Also bouragarabou drums is possible to tune as drummer wants. Some has lower sound, some has higher. There is also very different sounding djembes. But of course u are free to have ur opinion. The main point is that this guy knows perfectly well when he is playing djembe and when he is using bougarabous.
I have a bougarabou,and it has a cowskin head,so it is indeed lower then what you see in the video,but the proper head is goatskin,and the ones in this video are perfectly typical bougarabou sound.
Also,if you notice,those higher pitched sounds are coming from finger slaps near the outer rim,and there are definitely lower tones coming from center slaps.
Bougarabou have heavy skins traditionally not the thinner goat skin. Though in a set, a goat skin drum is used for timing and to set the rhythm similar to the way the middle drum in a conga set is used and some use thinner skins on that one too. But the rest with both, have heavier skins.
In Cuba this is called Acaballo...

they are bougarabous they are just tuned high and the skins sound like lighter weight ones.
They aren't djembes.
