Re: Rim mounts
I've found I can use my thumb like a drum dial. I place the rim in the crotch of my thumb and press down on the head with the end of my thumb. I can match the tension at each lug pretty darn close by feel, then let my ears take it from there. This seems to help on old shells with less than perfect bearing edges. Sometimes bad edges or shells make getting things in the ballpark difficult to do by ear.

Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
