James,
I think it is a good idea to learn as much as possible about every aspect of trumpet playing. Attaining more knowledge can only make us better. If you are wanting to try different drill sizes for you mouthpiece, that can get very expensive! I made the discovery that my teeth were not as open as I thought they were when I was playing. I then did a test with a lot of my trumpet player friends and found out that they were in the same boat. This won't be a surprise to most of you, but I found that by opening my teeth, the sound and range improved. Not only that, the mouthpiece felt like it was drilled out. It was so much easier to play.
