Description: I have a vintage bass drum that is in good shape except for the heads. I looked for heads on the internet and haven't been able to find any 25". I guess nobody makes that size anymore? I don't want to pay more than the drum is worth just to get heads. Do you know of any place that sells non-standard size heads?
The Drum Experts Say...
Hello and thanks for your question.
I would first like to know if you measured the drum in different spots? Maybe the drum is possibly not in round and out of shape.
That is just a thought, but if everything checks out then we have a large drum forum where you can post a wanted request.
The forum is here: Vintage Drum Forum
Drummers help other drummers so if someone has the head they will trade or sell for it if they do not want it. Or they might know a location of where to buy them.
The other route is to ask Remo to make the head. I know they will make metric heads for the European sized drums and are great at making the customer happy. That of course is a more expensive option.
The last and final option is to set up an Ebay search under your My Ebay preferences for 25" bass drum heads. Then when something is listed that matches that search you will get an email.
Thanks
