Description

For a much more natural look and earthy sound, wood hoops are the way to go! Most commonly found on bass drums, their steam-bent and shell-like construction contributes to the warm and direct thump of the lower end of your kit. However, there are several snares and toms that utilize wood hoops, as well, most notably for boutique manufacturing and natural-edition kits. It’s much easier for this approach to show the scars of battle durability-wise, but, for the attractiveness, we’ll let it slide! And, while there’s absolutely no doubt that wooden hoops take first prize in the aesthetics department, the sound of these hoops is not to be overlooked. Their warm and focused tonal qualities tend to provide greater control over the drumhead and can virtually eliminate sustain for a truly dark and thudding response. And that earthy pop of the rim while cross-sticking is just pure bliss to the ears of any drummer!

Note: This is for one hoop only.
