3/8" Snare Counterhoop, 14" - 18", WITH ROPE HOLES AND GATES
We steam bend and carefully dimension our one-ply counterhoops here at our Vermont shop using local hard maple. This listing is for snare drum batter counterhoops made with holes, and sized for standard diameters.
- The dimensions of these standard counterhoops are 1 7/8" high x 3/8" thick.
- We also offer counterhoops in 5/16" thickness for use with claws or rope hooks, or to match existing thinner counterhoops - these are listed separately.
-
The standard number of holes is 10 for 15" and above, 8 or less for smaller diameters. If you have a specific preference or an unusual number of holes or hole configuration, please contact us before ordering.
- For snare side counterhoops, we will cut our standard gates unless we hear from you with a follow-up email to let us know what type of snare strainer you are using, so that other gates can be cut in the hoop.
- These hoops are sized to fit standard diameters. Many times an antique or vintage drum will need to have the counterhoop formed directly on the shell because the shell is out of round or of an unusual diameter. You can send the shell (or the entire drum) to us to have the counterhoop sized. But if you feel comfortable taking on the project, you can purchase unglued counterhoops to fit and glue the counterhoop yourself on your shell - these unglued hoops are listed separately.
- Counterhoops less that 14" diameter are standard at 5/16", and are listed separately.
