Ahead

collapse expand iconDescription

The Ahead S-Hoop has many advantages to offer every drummer no matter what level of player they may be. The S-Hoop is like a triple flange hoop except with a different design. From this new design came an overlying edge that turns in and bevels down towards the drum head covering the bearing edge and leaving plenty of room for different tuning tensions. The added steel density made the hoop more rigid like a die-cast hoop therefore giving it the consistent tuning characterisitcs of a die-cast hoop.

This new design also gives the S-Hoop a smoother playing surface for rim-shots and side stick creating less impact to the hands and wrist. The patented design allows the toms to sing more and give's the snare a fatter sound than hoops of previous design.

    The S-Hoop is one of wonders of the drum world. Yet so few have really caught on. Its the weight of a standard triple-flange hoop, with the rigidity of a steel die-cast hoop, and better at saving drum sticks than a Slingerland stick saver. The cross stick sound is fantastic, much better than any normal steel triple flange hoop. It opens up the sound of the drum, better than a die-cast. The only drawback, whatsoever is that the hoop design makes it nearly impossible to clip a microphone to the drum. This isn't necessary a terrible thing, since I still prefer a stand-mounted snare mic. But, sometimes its just more convenient and quick to clip a mic to the snare rim.

  • I'd put them on the rest of my kit.
