Russian Drummer

Band is on hiatus, so my drum kit is coming home. The problem is, everyone in a two block radius of my house hates my guts when I play drums. I decided that this time I'm going to take preemptive action by making mesh drumheads out of heavy duty window screen.
Getting to the point, I'm worried about my bearing edges in this situation. I don't want to ultra-coarse screen to leave any indents. I already tried foam, and it was too unwieldy and thick. My next idea was some felt, but I had another thought. Would duct tape, stuck to the inside of the mesh where contact is made with the bearing edge, work? Or should I stick with felt?
