S-Hoop Steel Safehoop Snare And Tom Drum Rim

The Safehoop S-Hoop drum rim is like a redesigned triple flange hoop. From this new design came an overlying edge that turns in and bevels down towards the drum head covering the bearing edge and leaving plenty of room for different tuning tensions. This added steel density made the hoop more rigid like a die-cast hoop therefore giving it the consistent tuning characteristics of a die-cast hoop. This new design also gives the S-Hoop a smoother playing surface for rim-shots and side stick creating less impact to the hands and wrist.
The patented design allows the toms to sing more and give's the snare a fatter sound than hoops of previous design. We like to call it a "Best of Both Worlds Hoop," because it incorporates all the characteristics of a die-cast hoop and a triple flange hoop all in one.

Other features:

• protects drum bearing edges from damage
• holds muffling rings in place without the need for tape
• compatible with all brands of drumheads
• works well with all brands of mics and various hoop clamps
