That is a good deal. These are great hats. Tissue light and wear great.

So, when playing a paradiddle at slow tempos, you just make each note a separate wrist stroke, right? Then, when speeding up, you bounce/rebound the diddle part? Or are you legitimately supposed to make every note separately?

hahahaha

slow = wrist using a free stroke
fast = using the rebound ... not relying on the rebound... use it and pull in that second stroke of the double a la the teachings of Freddie Gruber

yes ... tissue light piece

Since you wear a 7 1/4, does it fit like a 7 1/8, or is there a bit more room in it?

it's on the larger side for a 1/8 but still too snug for my liking
snug enough that a stretch to fit would wonk out the brim

What's the crown height at the front? Is this wool felt? I am a 22.5 inch, you think it'll work? (I usu wear 7 1/4 too but find that some a little loose, some a just right).
