hey guys, so just a quick curious question, how can remo be perfectly fit on tilli side? does it have to be 12.5", 12.7", 12.9", or 13.1" outer rim?(not drumhead ring or lip) ???

13.2 would work but it might be just a slight too big. i have a 13.2 desi head on my drum and im using a rim cut out from an old remo 13 inch to fit it and its a little small so i can only imagine the other way around would be a little too big? best bet would be to find a used remo drum head online for 5-10 bucks and buy that and cut that rim out. they work beautifully.

oh okay, so i bet that remo and evans have a rounded square hoop(sort of), while any desi plastic skins have a rounded hoop(or ring), thanks again :)

This kinda stuff takes experimenting, if you don't know something like this all you have to do is grab different shit and try it haha. But don't be afraid to ask if you don't understand or aren't certain. Idky someone would get frustrated on a forum..... pretty sure these things were ment for questions no matter how ridiculous lol
