This is the teflon tape you've been looking for! This is the proper "teflon tape" to use on the bearing edges of timpani bowls when installing new heads. 1/2" wide, 36 yards long on each roll, .004" thin! One roll will do 2-3 full sets of timpani and last 2-3 head changes. See Short below for more information. The DKP Teflon Tape is not only timpanist-tested, it's stronger and thinner than the "regular" stuff on the market. The pressure sensitive adhesive will stick better, working along with the thinner film, contouring to the bearing edge of any timpani bowl. Thinner film = better sound transfer!

Yamaha TP-6229 Intermediate Series 29 Copper Pedal Timpani with Cover - Woodwind & Brasswind

The Yamaha 4300 Series combine lightweight aluminum bowls with the same frames and overall performance as the high-end models. They have been specifically designed to deliver tone and resonance similar to copper bowls. The Pedal spring and head tension are balanced, so the set pitch is maintained even if the player removes their foot from the pedal. Pitch changes across the entire range are smooth and easy. A wide pitch range of approximately a minor sixth per inch has been achieved.
