how do you measure drum set heads ?

Take a tape measure and measure the diameter of the skin inside of the rim.

This purchase was a gift and I was told the size... But this might help you. http://www.ehow.com/how_5118124_measure-drum-heads.html#page=0

Measurement is taken from the diameter of the drum head. Measure across the center of the drum from one edge of the ring to the other.

Well the first thing you do is unzip your fly............lol.. (Jordan has the right answer.)

I just removed the dust cap and measured it for the correct size. Calipers are helpful but a good ruler will do in a pinch.

The will work on anything where a normal drum head would go. Anything with lugs you can tighten down can be used!

The drum is 7 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep. You lose about 1 inch in the middle due to the post.

Or you could just count how many inches each turn of the reel crank takes onto the reel. Then just count how many cranks you make. Half way thru re-measure because the higher/bigger the dia of line on the reel the more it will pull in for each crank.

Fits my drum set very well with a small amount of free space, 14, 12, 13, 16, 22

Hey Ron, Welcome to drumming! While much of tuning has to do with personal preference, the Drumdial comes with suggested tension ranges for each drum. I would suggest trying those and adjust from there. The consistency of tuning is what makes this tool so valuable. Hope this helps. Have fun playing! Danny

They have a chart that tells you how to measure. If it is close to the high measure go to the next larger.

it's a device inside the drum with "fingers" that rub under the top head with a screw-type adjustment on the outside of the shell. It's cheap but it works.

The best way to find your size is: get a piece of string that can span around the perimeter of your head. then, measure that length with a regular measuring tape. Amazon provides the different measures for the different sizes of helmets. I hope this helps.

Used it for dj 'ing, so I don't know how it works with and acoustic drum set. Sorry

The two previous answers I believe are correct.I have been playing drums for over 30 years and have never seen toms measured with a .5 or half if that makes sense.I would recommend buying a standard drum set (meaning measured in whole number diameters)you will have less problems buying heads and replacement parts.I hope this helps.

I looked up how to set one up on YouTube, and it worked just fine. I have no experience with setting up drum sets, so if I can do it, anyone can.:-)

It looks like the pedals are fixed in place. I don't think you can adjust how far they are apart.http://pearldrum.com/products/hardware/drum-pedals/demonator#p-932

I always record the basic drum track on track 1 on the left set of knobs and then add guitars, keyboards, vocals, etc on the other tracks 2-8. You can export some of thise tracks and empty them out and reuse them again if you need more than the 8 available. As long as you keep a couple of basic tracks to follow along with, you'll still be able to make them all match up time wise.

Yes, it should not be any different than tuning a regular drum kit. I would use the same setting for snare and tenor to keep them in tune with each other.

I cant tell you the approximate measures mainly due to the adjustability of the set but the space that my set takes up is roughly 48 inches wide from post to post and about 36 inches distance from the throne to the drumset. so it will take up roughly about 3 feet width X 2 feet Length
