not new, just newly finished. wood hoop on my main snare
i made 2 pairs of these wood hoops 2 years ago. there were a lot of f**k ups while making them that made me think thrice about ever selling them. sayang di ko na makita yung 3 pa nito.
i initially made them with 50 plies of maple, this one has 2 outer and 2 inner plies of cherry. na out of round lang dahil sa ply separation at di na magkasya yung head. kaya tinabasan ko pa yung loob ng 5 plies
sablay talaga
no plans of making them again or for anyone besides for my personal use, no plans of selling either. gagawa lang siguro ko ulit kung sobrang tinopak ako
wood hoop vs metal hoopwood hoops remove the metallic resonating ring on your snare. it doesnt focus/tighten the sound like what diecast hoops does. i get killer side stick sounds. rim shots are also fuller and no longer hurts my ears. adds a perceptive "warmth" to your snare, you can hear a lower timbre.
this hoop will stay on my snare until it dies on me
