I try to record something tomorrow, but the heads are really tight and they dont get much lower even if i knobs all the way open. I was now thinking after reading this
The lightbulb thing was a head warmer.
... should i warm the heads to make it lower? I was thinking about putting some moist on it cause thats how to put them on the hoops in the first place.
Kinda looks like a 3 ply to my eyes. My guess is that the writing inside is from the factory and must mean something but what that is I have no idea. My 1914 drum was unmarked except for the owner's name. The badge was removed and some light bulb thing was in its place. I took that off so I just have a larger than normal vent hole. Here's what it looks like after a little restoration. It's a very deep thunderous beast!Steve
Your drum looks really good!
How did you date it to 1914 if there wasnt any markings or badge? The lugs are something i have never seen before!
Oh yes and looks 3 ply now to me too. 2 thinner and one thicker in the middle.
