like the Pearl Extender in the image...
if you played them,
how did they sound? longer sustain? same sound? lower tone? something bad?
thanks
Interesting!! I have never seen these before...

I play floating heads. No metal or skin headring contact with the shell helps sustain. Easy to not get and pull out wrinkles so you can tune even. (I think wrinkles add stress before you tune.)
The rest I can't say except no scraping the shells or wrap. Mine are only a quarter inch over not inches like those in the pic.
do you have images? heads one inch bigger than the shell?
Premier Signia had undersize shell. This is a Youtube of someones Tama Gong 14x20 drum

If I remember reading Al Duffy/Billy Cobham developed and then got Pearl

to do that/ Then Billy got Tama to do that.
Premier Signia were not as severe
Billy Cobham July 1986 Modern Drummer:
"Some of the guys who could tell you about stuff like that are Bob Yeager at the Professional Drum Shop in L.A., and Al Duffy who’s now with Pearl. Al made all my drums back in the ’70s before I went with Tama. He’s a wealth of information.
He built that chain pedal and started that stuff. Al built a lot of my custom drums, but that stuff was happening, again, back in the’40s. You just said, “Hey, let’s make a gong drum, and let’s just do that again—put a timpani head on a 22″ shell or put a 26″ head on a 24″ shell and tighten it down.” Put some timpani lugs on it and “boooing.” All that stuff just comes about, and nothing’s new. We just use it in a different way. Players are going to take these supposedly new things coming out and be creative with them."
yes Tama gong drum or tymp-toms, the same concept. not "regular" undersized shells
I couldn't find any sound/you tube of the Pearl Extenders.
There is some Premier Signia and sounded wicked good.
