    How do I properly tension mesh heads?

    I know the basic rule of tightening the head in a "star" pattern, but I wanted to know if it was ok to unscrew the head completly and start from scratch? I'd like to get maximum rebound, but I don't want to damage anything due to over tightening, i.e. The head itself or the trigger.

    It shouldn't be an issue. I mean when you replace a drum head you start from scratch.

      I have one of those black sprinkler head looking drum torques that I use for my drums. I've used it for my acoustics for years, Now I use it for my E's.
