The marching drum shell is 15 inches and the old metal calf skin ring is 15 3/16th. I initially thought that Aquarian American Vintage would fit. However, a rep at Aquarian told me that the interior hoop dimension is exactly 15 inches and that it would be too small. What other options do I have.

Send this hoop to someone for a new calfskin? Who? I don't want to spend too much on this drum. I've tucked a couple of heads myself, but they were much thicker. Tucking a thin calf head scare me.

Other option-- anyone got an orphan 1920-30 thin head to sell?>

Thanks

Jim
