Members Chunkaway Posted January 7, 2007 Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 Anyone know what drum manufacturers use reinforcing rings beside Ayotte and C&C? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eBayfreak Posted January 7, 2007 Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 I think DW does if I'm not mistaken, and I know it's an option on Tama custom order shells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chunkaway Posted January 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 I forgot that DW will put rings on. I almost never see them with the rings, but I know they can put them on. I didn't know about Sonor Delites. I'll have to check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cheeseadiddle Posted January 7, 2007 Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 You'd want re-rings if you have thin shells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not slamming you, but have you played a kit with reinforcing rings? To my ears they do sound different. I'm not saying they will sound better to everyone, but they definitely have a different sound. I tend to think they resonate a bit more and have a bit more defined tone. I'd describe maple drums with reinforcing rings as sort of a cross between maple and birch but with a more "rounded" sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members siberian Posted January 8, 2007 Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 My old DW kit built in the late 1990's had them. My new kit with VLT shells does not. However I believe it's an option on any of their kits if you request it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pjb Posted January 8, 2007 Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 Both my dW kits have them. One is a mid 90's and one is a 2006 model. the older kit's reinforcing hoops are thicker though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted January 8, 2007 Members Share Posted January 8, 2007 According to Precision Drum, besides duh reinforcing the shell, rings also raise its pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
