About to install a vellum processed premounted head from Bill Miller's people. This is my first venture into skin heads, so I'm wondering what good safe starting head tension is, and also a "do not exceed" tension. I have and will use a neary drum dial to get fairly precise tension, so am hoping for advice from other folks who do the same.
For volume's sake, I've kept my renaissance head pretty tight - quarter won't quit slide under a straight edge, dime moves freely. I'm thinking it's A(ish).
