Triple Flanged - 2.3mm triple flanged hoops are standard on all Custom Shop drums. This is a very sturdy and durable hoop that still allows some flex which translates into more resonance from the drum. A great all-around choice for all drums and that is why we choose it as the standard. |

Die Cast - Die cast hoops are extremely thick and rigid. They raise the pitch of the drum, reduce the sustain, and add a more "metallic" sound to the drum. For those reasons, we don't recommend them on toms unless you are going for that particular sound. Our triple flanged hoops are a better choice for an open, resonant sound. Die Cast hoops can be useful on snare drums for added attack, brightness, and volume. Available on 8" to 18" drums. |

Wood Hoops - made from 10-ply 100% Maple and featured on our Vintage Series. By replacing metal hoops with wood, a much more natural "woody" tone is achieved. Extremely warm and resonant, a Spaun drum with wood hoops produces a very sweet sound under the microphone. Available on 8" to 18" drums. *Wood hoops are fragile and not recommended on snare drums for heavy hitters. Consider it like a drum stick, it WILL wear out. How long depends on how hard and often you hit it (breakage is not covered under warranty). |

"Yamaha Style" Wood Hoops - thicker and more rigid than our Vintage Wood Hoops, these hoops are not as open and resonant and act almost like a "wood" die cast hoop. The larger mass raises the pitch and reduces the sustain. They also add some volume over our Vintage hoops. |

Visor Hoops - similar in design to the "Yamaha Style" wood hoop but has a "visor" on the outside that comes down further on the drum. Same sonic characteristics with a different look. more |
