I recently tried to convert my 10 inch snare pad on my DM10 studio to mesh head using the Billy Blast Balistech II 3ply mesh head using exactly hellfire method.
The loose plys in the head cause lumpy, uneven playing surface with soft spots that don't trigger the same because of the plys blousing up underneath the top layer, and the hoop is just too tight to tighten past the black plastic wrap on the wooden hoop.
My question then is do Heart Dynamics, Roland, or Pintech mesh heads have these same qualities (particularly the multi plys being loose from each other and unvevenly blousing up?)
I see the potential in the mesh head setup, but I am so glad i only ordered the one head from Billy Blast, as I don't see a physical solution to the problem. I hope that one of the other manufacturers multiply heads are not like this.
