Female ("hembra") timbal samples, also known as the bass timbal. Don't ask me why the bass timbal is called "female". Possibly it's because the male (high) timbal goes inside it.
Recorded with Rode NT5 and AKG D-40 microphones to a Roland UA-1G interface through a Yamaha MG-102C mixer.

Interesting, yes.
As a side note, the male drum does fit into the female one.

Funny story about that. My dad was a soloist with Xavier Cugat's orchestra in the late 40s and early 50s. He toured N. and S. America with the band, and had an encyclopedic knowledge of Latin percussion instruments. He told me that the reason the large drum was always "female" and the small drum "male," was because they were imitating nature. Look at birds, for instance. Male birds are smaller than the females, have brilliant plumage, and flitter about, doing their mating dances. The females are larger, less colorful, and build/keep the nest. In Latin music, the large drum is the anchor, the time keeper, while the small drum does all the riffs. Interesting, eh?

Note that the velocity goes from zone 1 to zone 4, zone 4 being the highest. That's what the prefixes are about, so this is the slowest/mutest hit.
