I have about 20 winch straps that do the same thing.
still haven't come down with the cold.
been taking zicam every three hours.
wife and son are both miserable.
Some of the stuff I have read about gluing up the shells say that the straps (instead of giant hose-clamps with a worm-gear tightening system) apply unequal pressure to the shell and can lead to slightly out of round shells.
I don't know if that is true, but for under 40-bucks shipped I got a hundred feet of the metal band and enough hardware to make 10 clamps. I will make a few for snare/tom sizes and three or four bass-drum sized clamps and be set up for life.
Oh, and I got the crud. Next weekend doesn't work for me. I am going to winter camp with my son for Cub Scouts. I forgot that it was coming up so soon. I am off work Monday and Thursday this week though.
