We have an exciting new addition to our line-up of hand-crafted products! Artisan Drumworks is now offering custom wood hoops in your choice of wood species for snare drums, tom toms, and bass drums, an Artisan exclusive. These are made in our shop and utilize a finger joint process that creates both strength and aesthetic appeal. Tension rods are counter-sunk and out of the way, drum head collars are tucked nicely underneath, and we even profile them to resemble a die-cast hoop.

A very notable characteristic of our solid wood hoops is a definable pitch that contributes nicely to the singing of our stave shells. Contrasted to triple flange, die-cast, and multi-ply hoops, there is a marked difference in that they actually produce a tone in and of themselves. Adding a pair of these to your drum is certain to open up the sound and produce a voice previously unheard. When mated with our stave shells, sound doesn’t get any finer. 

Available in different sizes and wood species to match or contrast with your drums!
