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.

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!

No only 1/4 " but one snare in that pic. looks like an inch to me. the lugs are on bumps, mine are not. Mine only show daylight 1/4 around them.

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."

I couldn't find any sound/you tube of the Pearl Extenders.

There is some Premier Signia and sounded wicked good.
