Members the DW Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Can anyone help me with an explanation of the benefits/differences/advantages/disadvantages of wooden drum hoops for snares and toms to that of metal ones? I was once told that it's a different rim shot sound. Nothing more. Of course, that could be in error, but it seems logical to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members organum Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 i use a wood hoop on the top hoop of my snare only. I use it primarily to reduce wear on my stick due to rim shot and the rim click is louder and sounds better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SyntheticTubs Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Wood hoops dampen the shell less, and the whole snare sounds more open with wood than metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sir eddie real Posted January 31, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Thanks very much for your input. As it turns out, I cant afford any anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crosstalk Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 I was wondering if a wood hoop can become damaged or word from rim shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sir eddie real Posted January 31, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Thanks for your input. My homework, unfortunately, tells me that I cant afford wooden rims anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members organum Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Yes they do become damaged but not to severely. I rimshot all the time and I don't see a need for replacement for probably about a year and a half or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SyntheticTubs Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 I have seen flanged hoops get dented. You have to be pretty brutal with the wood hoops to damage them. That's a minor concern. And yeah, once a year if you are rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
