Oversized drum head

Posts: 284 Threads: 66

I’m about to embark on converting a 1940s Slingerland 15” duco marching snare to. 7” regualr snare which I want wrap in marine pearl to match my Slingerland kit. I’ve noticed that even an American vintage Aquarian head is tight on the shell so with the additional thickness of a wrap, it’ll be almost impossible. Does anyone know of any other oversized heads I could try? Don’t really want to have to cut the wrap back as it never looks 100%.

1938 8"x15" Leedy Broadway Standard
1947-53 14x6.5" NOB Ludwig & Ludwig Universal
...plus a bunch of mismatched Slingerlands that collectively make a pleasing noise.

I would also add that I don't think that Remo Classic Fit comes in a 15". Hard to find 15" heads in any make!
