Fidock Drums / Wood Hoops (steam Bent) / 2014 / Natural / Drum For Sale
Fidock wood hoops are made from the same high tone timbers as our shells. They are exceptionally strong and resonant and matched to our stave shell deliver the full potential and unique character of our snare drums.
We use a single length of timber, which we cut and steam-bend. This means our hoops feature just 2 joins. As a result, we make wooden hoops for regular use that will hold high tension levels and provide accurate and reliable tuning. The use of solid timber delivers a well loaded, articulate click and a fuller rim-shot with plenty of cut and fat.
Another feature of our hoops is a slightly lower elevation. This provides greater dexterity for stick and brushwork and smoother access to the playing surface.
