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. These hoops are coated with a light urethane finish which makes the hoop exceptionally durable. Hoops produce incredible rim shots and an unbelievable side-sticking sound. (may require different size 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. (These hoops will retrofit with many drum brands, but may require different size tension rods - available sep. on this website).
