This is top view. I colored the tan stitches black
with a marker. Black thread would look nicer.
I put the mesh head on the drum and laid on two
more layers of window screen. Tighten down the lugs. I noticed the more
layers you put on the less the rebound is.
Update: Another option is to add one layer of
SuperScreen over the fiberglass window screen. I use 20 x17 tiny mesh SuperScreen.
Trim off the excess window screen. I'm sure the
screen will wear at some point. When the top two layers start to wear
out. I can easily replace them and won't have to re-stitch new screen to
the rim.
To me the window screen mesh heads feel great
and are much quieter than the Roland mesh head on the Roland PD85
Next I will make the SuperScreen
mesh heads quieter.
