I am trying to find a store in Ontario that can get a metric size head for my tom. Any thoughts?
John Grey drums
Did you try Ebay UK? They show up there often enough...
Cheers

Talk to Dave Dudley at Dave's Drum Shop in Ottawa. If it's a common size, he can get it from Remo. Dave's a great guy. www.davesdrumshop.com
"I've met cats and dogs smarter than Cory and Trevor."
A forum member, whom I bought my '50s Trixon snare from seemed to imply that Remo kept a small stockpile of metric heads. I could be wrong.
that's me. Any music store that sells Remo heads , can order one next time they order heads. That way the shipping gets apportioned across a bunch of heads , instead of being applied to just one. If you order the head separately the shipping will be about 10.00 additionally( to Ontario---they use Canpar) but you must order through a dealer.
Ontario is serviced for Remo products by Calato/Direct Music. They have the distribution for Canada.
They do not have distribution for the U.S. , so their operation in Niagara Falls N.Y. , is dedicated to the Canadian market. They bring in a semi, of Remo heads every 2 weeks, from Remo, so they are shipping a pile of heads into Ontario and and elsewhere. Should not be a problem getting one fairly quickly. I would doubt if Dave's Drum shop would have one in stock----he's pretty slim on stocking much too off the beaten path; especially non-American drum stuff. I've been there numerous times and if you aren't in the Ottawa area, you're going to pay shipping twice. Best contact your local dealer . The part # is the same as the standard one with a PR added to it. The heads come in 12, 16 and 20 ( adjusted sizes ) and are available in several weights and finishes.
If you need further info.---P.M. me . I can get the head for you as well----I'm east and into Toronto regularly.
