I've got a Ludwig NOB Universal drum, and I was looking to replace the hoops on it. But upon trying to seat my new triple flange hoop on the batter head, i notice that the strainer is getting in the way.
This is the drum and the strainer that is on it.
As you can see, the strainer sits really high, and actually I might not even be able to get the head to the tension i want with the strainer in the way.
This is not the original strainer for the drum, the drum is from the 20's but the strainer i think is from the 30's or 40's. I dont want drill any more holes into this old drum, but it already has a few holes drilled into it.
Do you guys know of any strainers that might fit the original hole pattern, or the hold pattern of this later strainer? I'm ordering off of drumfactorydirect to get some hoops and lugs for this drum, so if you guys know of a strainer from there, please do recommend.
Here are some pictures of the new hoop, which sits lower, interfering with the strainer.
