Remo Timpani heads are measured from the Outside Dimension or OD of the Flesh Hoop. Remove the counterhoop and measure the OD of the Flesh Hoop to determine the size you need. If the dimension is a whole number such as 31”, as in this illustration, you would need a “3100” size drumhead. The Details Unlike standard batter and resonant drumheads, Remo Timpani heads are measured from the Outside Dimension or OD of the Flesh Hoop. The Timpani Bowl and Counterhoop dimensions are not necessarily important. If the dimension is a whole number such as 31”, as in this illustration, you would need a 3100 size drumhead. If the OD dimensions are not whole numbers such as 29”, 31”, and 34” but are incremental, then it is best to measure the OD of the head in a few different locations and average the numbers. You can center the drumhead on the timpani bowl and use the tuning lugs or struts as guides to measure in different locations across the drumhead.
To determine the correct size timpani head, please refer to the Remo Timpani Drumhead Chart. You will need to know the make (manufacturer), model (name / #) and bowl diameter (inches or mm). The part number nomenclature (i.e. RC-2800-LA) for Remo timpani heads consists of the prefix, size, and insert ring/film type.
