harr,so ive got this old John Grey Autocrat,,,me thinking its a 20'',,(looked
20'').........so i buy a new 20'' Evans Emad ...as i use them on all my drums now....& lo&behold,,IT WONT FIT???.....
its like a 21'' kick drum???,,tried a 22''&too big??........WTF???
or are those drugs from the 60's kicking in again???......haha!!
so,,,where can i buy a 21'' bass drum head???anyone??..........
im dumbfounded..........
what a odd size............
In the days before the mylar head, when calf was used it was common to find odd sizes. It was just a matter of getting a new skin, & tucking it. I have quite a few old Ludwig odd sizes & half sizes, but they all have skin heads. I presently play a 23" Gretsch from the 20-30's. Your only alternatives are to go skin, or special order a Mylar, both choices will be a bit costly. If you're lucky, you might find an old inexpensive orphan bass w/ skin heads to be retucked in your size.
You can get custom made calf heads, but they ain't gonna be cheap. Aaah, the joys of vintage drum mania!
You can get custom made remo plastic heads also!
hmm,this custom made head you speak of??,,,anyone point to a link from whenst i may find prices&then faint&then order one mumbling&grumbling!
or is it cheaper if a rustle a calf? & present it at a drum shop?
unreal,,Thankyou Mr Grey!!

Remo does custom heads twice a year once a day every six months, I've waited 6 months before on a custom head's, I had a few powerstroke 3, 28" bass drum heads custom made, If I remember correctly so will Aquarian try them also call them.
You can try Remo they may have some in the back room still..I know they did about 2 years ago because i did not buy all of them..You can also try Aquarian they i think still will make heads for you and they are faster than Remo....Mikey

Hey dude! Aquarian does not make 21" head's , if they did i would have sold you that by now , I will call Roy burns and ask the man if they can do that for my buddy from the land down under.
And dont forget to take pic's with the king street percussion teeshirt that i sent you , so the next time you go A wall we can post your mug on milk cartons HARRRRRRR! .
lol,,ooh,hardydeharr,,your just jealous cause you aint got no 21'' drums in your drum shop!,,Mr Evens!
