ADDITIONAL INFO: MEASURE DRUM BEARING EDGE
Although the manufacture’s stated catalog drum size is good to know it is not crucial to determine which drumhead crown size to use.
The counter hoop measurements are the most important especially if the drum make and model are older versions or an unknown brand.
The drum size at the bearing edge is difficult to measure accurately as it has a rounded edge with no reference point to start or end. You can use a tape measure to get an approximate size which will help to identify the head size range. With the above variations in mind it is best to remove and measure your counterhoop(s).
