Tuning your drum set drums involves evenly tightening the batter and resonant heads to achieve balanced tone and desired sustain. A resonant head tuned slightly higher than the batter head creates clearer overtones and a more focused sound across your kit.
Batter drumheads are the ones you strike and are available in different thicknesses and features to match your desired sound and playing style. Resonant drumheads, found on the bottom of the drum, enhance tone and sustain, with thinner versions used for greater sensitivity, especially on snare drums. Choosing the right drumhead depends on the drum type and the sound you want to achieve.
All sizes (12"-22" diameters) are +.130 inches over the advertised drumhead size. For example, a 14" diameter Classic Fit drumhead, has an inner diameter (from aluminum flesh-hoop) of 14.130 inches. Here are a few points to consider when determining if Classic Fit is right for your drums: We designed Classic Fit with a more narrow aluminum flesh-hoop allowing proper seating with the drums counter-hoop, and room to rest on drum shells that either run slightly over sized-due to natural expansion over time or overlapping of the shell wrap finish, or even out-of-round drum shells. Many vintage drum wraps, even some made today, were done in sheets, not rolls. The sheets were too short to cover the entire circumference of bass drums and 18” floor toms. Therefore, these drums had two overlapping seams which make it more difficult for a normal size flesh hoop to fit over the seams. Cut‐a‐way view of a drum shell with one overlapping seam Tom-Toms and Snare Drums that have a thick overlapping seam will interfere with the drumhead flesh hoop, keeping it from moving down over the seam and not allowing the drumhead film to rest on the bearing edge. If the standard drumhead is forced over the shell it will not resonant freely and cause wrinkles in the drumhead film.
