Re: When to replace batter heads?
Hard to say whether you are doing anything wrong just by you stating there are dents in the heads. It can be said that you hit the skins hard to be causing dents. There are a couple possible answers that come to mind. One, you hit hard- obvious. The other is how the stick it striking the head- technique.
As far as when to change there are a lot of drummers that have different opinions. Certainly when they become dented or break they should be changed. But also some change their heads more often from use if they are gigging a lot or just as a rule of thumb every 6 months or once a year… other than breaking or denting it may be a personal decision.
