Tuning drums involves applying tension to the batter and resonant drumheads to specific pitches to achieve balanced tone frequencies. We recommend that the resonant head is tuned slightly higher than the batter head (½ step, for example) for pure overtones and sustain. Applying even tension to each tuning rod will achieve a balanced and pleasing drum sound for Toms, Bass, and Snare Drums.

Drumhead types are specific to the type of counter-hoop used on the drum. Drums with wooden counter-hoops, most common on bass drums, require a 'bass-type' drumhead which has a wide gauge aluminum flesh-hoop to properly seat and tune up. Drums that use metal counter-hoops, most common on snare and toms, require a non-bass drumhead which has a thinner gauge aluminum flesh-hoop to seat inside. Players have managed to interchange head types in some cases, but it's not likely nor recommended for optimum performance. *We also identify with the part #'s where the 3rd digit is '0' for snare/tom and '1' for bass use. For example: PINSTRIPE® CLEAR DRUMHEAD, 20" PS-0320-00 is for snare/tom style PS-1320-00 is for bass style.
Yes, drumheads for Premier model drums are still available for purchase. In the 1980's, Remo worked closely with Premier to develop tooling for 4 major sizes: Rack Toms- 10" (9-5/8" actual diameter), 12" (11-7/8" actual diameter); Floor Toms-16" (16-5/16" actual diameter); and Bass-20" (19-5/8" actual diameter). Please note: some Premier models were made outside of these 'standardized' sizes, and may require a full custom made-by-hand drumhead. If your measurements fall outside of these specs, please see custom drumhead link: https://support.remo.com/hc/en-us/articles/202362179-Custom-Drumheads If the inner-diameter of your current drumheads are consistent to the sizes listed above, choose from the following list and submit the special order with your local or online retail store.
