I have been using Evans heads exclusivly on my Cat Maple drums but now I am starting to think something is wrong with either the heads, or my shells, First, the drums when tuned sound awesome, at least to my ear but I just dont think I should be going to extensive lengths to tune them, like I have in the past. So here's the dopey question that I am almost hesitant to ask. How snug should heads fit on the shells? Should there be any play between the shell edge and the metal rim of the head( right now there is )I. Do Evans heads fit differently than Remo? I have been having some minor tuning issues and began to focus in on this as a possible cause. I have never owned a real high end kit so I'm not sure if this is a normal condition. I seriously hope that its not my shells since I just can't afford a new kit. I have already checked the shells for roundness and they are fine as well as the bearing edges. Any help here? I am seriously frustrated!!!!!!!
