Best For
Use Cases
- Hardware Restoration: Ideal for replacing bent, cracked, or worn-out hoops on snare drums or tom-toms.

Setup Notes
Installation
Installation is straightforward and requires basic drum tuning tools. Remove the existing hoop and drumhead, place the new Gibraltar battery hoop onto the bearing edge of the shell, and align the 5 lug holes with the tension rods. Seat the drumhead firmly and tighten the tension rods in a cross-pattern to ensure the hoop is seated evenly against the shell.
