I don't know if it's too late now, but I wouldn't buy drums with ply separations, particularly bass drums because of the volume of air being pushed around inside of it. The separation will only get worse. You then have the problem of the loose plies buzzing inside your drum every time the pedal hits the head.
I would stay away and just buy a new head if your other bass drum is in good shape.
Just my opinion,
Dennis
