Title: Wood Rims Post by: Bart Elliott on March 03, 2002, 07:40 PM Has anyone had any luck with after market wood rims on their drums? I'm not talking about factory made drums coming with it's own wood rim; I'm referring to switching out a metal rim for a wood rim ... such as on a snare drum that you already owned.

I used a Yamaha Anton Fig at a practice studio that I just fell in love with . It was the first time in a long while that I played on something that had me saying , " I gotta have this baby." :o

Title: Re: Wood Rims Post by: rlhubley on March 06, 2002, 11:49 AM I saw an ad for Yamaha wood hoops, ten holes for $184.95/pair. I'm really wondering how they would sound on my bamboo drum. So, I wanted float this thread back up and see if anyone might be able to better describe the difference in sound and feel and durability.
Also, are they like die-cast hoops? I hate die-cast hoops on a snare, but love them on toms!! |
