So I have this Supra 6.5x14 that has the 1.6mm hoops on it. They seem to deliver sweet rimshots, but the sound seems weak if the hit isn't a rimshot. So I tried a 2.3mm and that sounded a lot better. Then, I borrowed a friends die cast hoops and I really love the way the non-rimshot is so cracky, but an actual rim shot sounds incredibly harsh to my ears.
I'll probably get the 2.3s but there are these S-hoops out there that I have zero experience with. Their marketing calls them somewhere between a 2.3 and a die cast. I have no idea what to make of this statement. Are they all the non-rimshot crack of a die cast with the sweet rimshot of a triple flanged? That would be great! Or, is it the other way around with the harsh rimshots of a die cast?
If anyone could shed some light on this for me, that would be awesome!
