How can I properly apply tape on drum heads to prevent damage and ensure optimal sound quality?

To properly apply tape on drum heads, first clean the surface with a dry cloth. Then, use a high-quality tape that won't leave residue or damage the drum head. Apply the tape evenly around the edge of the drum head to prevent it from loosening during play. Avoid covering the entire drum head as it can affect the sound quality. Experiment with different placements to find the best balance between protection and sound.
