High quality drum hoop for tuning down the drum head. Designed to maximize the drum’s tonal characteristics while not interfering with the natural sound qualities produced by the drum. Made of 15-20 thick plies of maple. Hoops produce incredible rim shots and an unbelievable side-sticking sound. May require slightly longer tension rods when retro-fitting an existing drum .Sold by the single hoop, so you are not forced to buy these in pairs as you will find with other suppliers. No Claws needed, just drop in tension rods as you would with any metal hoop. The finish on this hoop will be a hand rubbed black maple, ready for use. NOTE: Wood hoops usually require a bit of lead time to produce in our custom wood shop.
