Snare with no sound except rim

Hi all,
Just to share one experience. I was playing during a practice then suddenly I lose the sound from the snare, only the rim was triggering  :o . After removing the mesh head, I just found that was the foam between the trigger and the mesh that was fully removed...
To replace this foam (20mm diameter x 13mm thickness) I just use double sided thick tape. I made a sandwitch of 5 layers of this tape to reach the exact dimension for the thickness, keeping the diameter out of its original dimension.
Reassembling everything then, with a little worry... and result is : WORKING just fine !   8)

Next step, find a foam with the exact dimensions... to keep the things in proper conditions. The point is I still can play and practice while trying to find this part. Any address will be appreciated.
Cheers
DKarl

You can get foam cones as spare parts from Drum-tec at least. Maybe some people with more DIY experience can suggest something even cheaper.
