But to answer your measurement question, if you don't know, you could measure from the edge of the shell to the other, and that will give you the size. I'm gonna guess and say (without looking) you have 12", 13", and 16" toms, and a 14" snare drum and a 22" bass drum. Or you could have 10", 12", and 14" toms, a 14" snare and a 20" bass drum. Or any combination of those. But when you measure it should be numbers like those, any fractions or if you get 11" or 17", that's wrong.
Pinstripes are not bad heads. They'll definitely give you the durability to last a good long time and alot of people use them for alot of music. Drum heads come either single-ply, or double-ply (which the pinstripe is), or just thick (like Vintage Emperors by Remo) or thin, like Evans G1's. Single ply heads tend to ring more, and wear out faster. Double ply heads can ring, but you get the extra durability of another ply. So you'll have to kinda' go through the different heads and figure out what you might want to try. Both Remo and Evans explain their heads pretty well on their websites. Do some research and experiment!
Thanx for the Help, And yeah.. I did a Good developing Research, I Really like the Evans Snare Head when it has the White circle Thingy in it cause it Will train someone in my level to hit Directly in the Middle of the Snare, I kinda like it's sound to but For tom Toms and floor.. I really Like the Remo pinstripe it's an amazing Sound... And i don't really know what to go with...
