Howdy again all. I've been doing some DIY projects on my DM10X kit as mentioned on here (Hellfire's foam only with mesh conversion, AHayden's foam for cone (ACE), etc). My question revolves around the fact that certain mesh heads, the BBII I bought being one brand, seem to have problems popping out from under the hoop. I did run into that problem with my 12" trigger, but not my 8". Is this just a problem with BB and 682 drum heads? Do any folks who used Pintech or Roland 12" trigger mesh heads have this same problem? I fixed the problem with my 12" trigger by using a 12" hoop I had laying around from my first Royce drum kit from many moons ago (30+ years, dad bought it with his income tax thank God). I like the BB II heads, but that is a deal breaker for me on my 12" pads if each is going to do that. I can buy new hoops, but should not have to.
BTW, I hope all is well with you AHayden, haven't seen any of your insightful posts lately. Your foam spacer/cone conversion is working pretty good with my 8" bass trigger, but I have to do some more fine tuning on it as I bought way too big a stick of insulation - 2" wide!!!!
My bad!! Going to get the more correct size today and use the 2" for dampening on the rack.
