Here's the thread I was talking about. Loopagator describes the problem in detail and there are pics of how I relief-cut my hoops.

It's not necessary...all that is necessary is that you check your Remo heads before buying. If the head isn't made correctly, buy one that is.
This problem isn't limited to Ludwig hoops and you'll experience this on other brands of drums. It's Remo's fault.
In the case of the drum that I cut the hoops for - the drum was just band and couldn't be tuned. This isn't a common thing, obviously.
