The shell might be out of round by 1/32 of an inch, but no more. Is this enough to cause a head to not fit properly? I think the oversizing of the shell is the main problem; I consistently get measurements at slightly more than 11 15/16", I guess 11 31/32". And shells should be an 1/8th less than the designated size, right?
I also measured the inside diameter of the Aquarian head with a result of slightly less than 12", looked like approximately 11 31/32". Is this normal?
I'm probably going to take all the heads off my drums and measure now...as far as I can ever remember, shell diameter is the diameter (if it's a 12" drum, it's 12" diameter). The hoops on the heads will be slightly larger because the actual head size matches, not the flesh hoop size.
