I prefer solid black

[Bo Eder]

So I finally got around to trying my newly re-built Rogers 22” bass drum with blond maple and black hoops. I like the look of all black better. What do you folks think?

 

[Morrisman]

Definitely all black.

 

[Chunkaway]

Would like to see that all black with a white bass drum head.

 

[Trigger]

maple hoops look like a homemade kit. black hoops looks like a real kit.

 

[Neal Pert]

+1 for black hoops, for sure.

 

[Supergrobi]

Although I'd prefer the hole-less, logo-less front head, the maple hoops make it look like a bunch of shells while the black hoops make it a kit.

 

[Push pull stroke]

Eh. That’s a close one. Maybe the blond hoops?

Wait…you have both blonde and black hoops?
If so I’d use the black for rock and the blonde for jazz.

 

[Superman]

The black looks classy and professional. The blonde looks like a players kit.

 

[Tamaefx]

Definitely black hoops. Maybe with a fyberskin front head ?

Generally speaking almost every time I've seen a kit with natural Maple hoops I think they look great however on a black kit I think I prefer the black hoops. I had a transparent red Tama kit with natural Maple hoops that I really liked I've seen purple also with Maple hips that looked great But I think with black I prefer black on black

I have one of those!

Black, but you know what would look killer, is if you had matching vintage style maple hoops on the toms. Blond hoops all around.

 

[Icetech]

i like the light hoops... but i'm not a fan of black drums to start with..

That could be an option....

I like the black hoops a lot more. Natural can be nice, but they look slightly out of place on a black kit to me. Where I'd add contrast is in the front head; either smooth white or a Colortone for a pop of color. Uncle Larry would probably suggest a Starfire, and he'd be totally correct.

 

[Frosticles]

The matching hoops. The natural one's just look off to me.

 

[MrInsanePolack]

I like both the hoop options. I dont like the black reso. It's just too much black.

 

[DutchDrummersDreams]

Black hoops with the black reso. Black it out!
