Best For
Use Cases
- Tonal Enhancement: Ideal for drummers looking to increase the “crack” and attack of their 13-inch tom or snare by utilizing the rigidity of stainless steel.

Setup Notes
Installation
Installation is straightforward and requires standard drum tuning tools. Remove the existing hoop and tension rods, place the Gibraltar stainless steel hoop over the drum head, and re-insert the tension rods through the 8 lug holes. Ensure the hoop is seated evenly across the bearing edge before tightening the lugs in a cross-pattern to achieve a balanced tune.
