Ever wondered how snare drum hoops affect the sound of your drum? We did, too! Here's the result of Dylan Wissing's test, going between die cast and triple-flanged "Sticksaver" hoops. Which one did you like best?
The drum is by GMS, 6 1/2" x 14" brass shell, 8-lug. Heads are Aquarian, with Texture Coated on top and regular Snare Side underneath.
