Sure. The crown of a drum head is how they are measured. That is the edge to edge size. Take a tape measure or ruler and simply put on top of the head and measure from one edge to another edge. Common full sizes: Macho (smallest drum of the set): 7.15” crown = 7” or 7-¼” Hembra (largest drum of the set): 8.5” crown = 8.5” or 8-⅝”, 9” Common entry level sizes: Macho (smallest drum of the set): 6-¾” Hembra (largest drum of the set): 8” Fyi this is different from the drum size which is measured to the shells bearing edge to edge.
Hi, could you or any one please explain how to measure the drums to know what size of head to get? Thank you in advance.
