Duplex Snare Drumhead

Loading...

I recently purchased a 1925-35 Duplex snare. It was in great shape except for a ripped reso head. No problem. I must have twenty on hand. Nothing fit! It was then I did a bit of research. Seems that Duplex used odd size heads. Fourteens won't work! Would anyone know where I could source one? The batter is not perfect either. THANK YOU!!!

I believe Cooperman Drums can make flesh hoops to spec. (for calf heads)

They may need a pencil outline of the outside of the shell rim in order to make them.
