Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The "simple flange" hoop is one of the most appreciated historic designs for its musicality: lighter than a die-cast hoop, it emphasizes sound openness and resonance. It is a sought-after choice when prioritizing natural projection and a less "constrained" feel under the stick.
Who This Drum/Hoop Is For
This 14-inch hoop is aimed at beginner to advanced drummers who want to optimize the response of their tom or snare without weighing down the instrument's character. It is particularly suitable for styles where the shell's tone is desired to "sing": vintage rock, blues, pop, funk, indie, and studio settings with open tunings.
Features and Innovations
Made of stamped and chrome-plated steel, this hoop combines durability and flexibility, with a 2.3 mm simple flange profile designed to enhance attack and resonance. It is intended for use with DC7 or DC17 snare drum lugs to ensure consistent and reliable mounting on compatible setups.
Sound Characteristics
A simple flange hoop directly influences the vibration of the drumhead and how the shell expresses itself: its lower mass compared to thicker hoops contributes to a more open sound, with a flexible playing feel and longer sustain. The result: more present harmonics, a note that lasts longer, and a particularly pleasant dynamic on rimshots and subtle nuances.
