MoonBassAlpha Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 So, my drummer put his size 10 DW5000 through my Flats bass drum head. I had a Remo head lying around but it wouldn't come up to tension at all. On inspection, the Remo powersonic has a deeper draw on the head and will never come up to tension with the arbiter tuning system. Any of you drummists had this issue and found a head that works, or some other workaround? Cheers MBA Quote

I don't know of an equivalent, but some folks use Pinstripes, apparently with success... Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted September 12, 2015 Author Posted September 12, 2015 Thanks for that link Douglas. I read it before I took the hoops apart and didn't really understand what was going on. It's clearer now I've seen how it goes together. I'll see how it goes - wonder if you can get the strip in black...? Cheers MBA Quote
