I'm thinking of buying a 5x14 and was wondering about shell depth. If I want to add a different shell, how tall should it be to fit the free float mechanism?
How about a 6 1/2 inch free floater? What depth shell? Thanks.

From memory the cradle is an inch and a half deep. So a 6.5" FF takes a 5" shell and a 5" FF takes a 3.5" shell.

Yes. The actual shell needs to be 1.5" shorter than overall height you'd like the snare to be. You will need to change to longer tension rods with a taller shell.
