LAPPING/TUCKING/REHEADING/flesh hoops
I can provide a wide range of different natural head options for all drums, including Bass Drums, Snare Drums and Timpani in addition I can rehead tambourines.These heads can be lapped (tucked) on to custom made flesh hoops for all size drums. Snare and tom head flesh hoops are made from 5mm jet cut steel (other metals on request) Bass drum and Timpani Hoops are made from 10mm square bar in mild steel or stainless steel.

Remo and evans heads
Should you want plastic heads I can provide Remo or Evans heads.
I may also be able to source some new old stock Premier and Ludwig heads however this is dependent on size of drum and what is available and can not be guaranteed.
I recommend Remo Renaissance Clear over the both strata heads and renaissance hazy, however the choice is always down to your own preferences.
