Hey ya's. I have an old Olympic snare a mate gave to me, but I need new hoops for it. The original hoops are a double flange?? but pop over the edge of the skin rim, so are useless.
Problem is it's a 6 lug snare (yeah, I know, but hey it's a different sound, and I've spent the last 20+ years with just a supraphonic) and I'm sure a 6 lug tom rim would do the top, but it's the snare side that I'm struggling to find.
So just wondering if anyone has any ideas on where I could source some rims? I don't really wanna pay a fortune, but also don't know which I should get. 2.3mil triples, die cast (thought they might be more rigid and better considering only 6 lugs) or even wood hoops!
I have an old 20x14 bass drum that had alloy inlaid hoops and I changed them for wood and it breathed new life into it. Kinda thinking wood hoops on the snare would be kinda cool. But I have no idea on how wood hoops affect the sound of snare drums.
Anyway, if anyone has any advice or suggestions on where I can find some, or what would be better, that would be cool. I'm an Aussie if that helps with suggestions.
Thanks heaps!
