S-Hoops are built like a triple-flange hoop, except that the top flange rolls over towards the center of the drum and bevels down towards the head. S-Hoops are built more stable than triple flange and die-cast hoops, unlocking a wider tuning range and making drums much easier to tune. This unique design makes rimshots effortless and cross-sticks absolutely explosive. S-Hoops slow wear on your sticks, and reduce the transfer of shock and vibrations to your hands and wrists, making the them the most economical and healthy choice in after-market drum hoops.
