I've tucked one of these, I found it's just as easy as a normal rim.

Cool I was worried about the cutting off the excess skin, looks like I can cut it off above the playing surface then pull it down.

pcastag: I found that these were a little more difficult to do with that teardrop hoop. Ive done 3 and the first one i cut into the skin just a little. Anyway im sure if have put skin's on already you will figure it out.

Nice! I just scored a pair of these, unfortunately the sizes are 10.75 and 11 so I'm going to sell the smaller one and the stand and keep the 11, they're both in great shape and I love the sound.
