[kahuna]

so i jus found out that my snare rim(batter) is out of shape,therefore i cant fit my skin properly,so is there anywhere i can get a new rim?it is 14" 8 hole tama swingstar snare.

if its slightly out of shape, you still can salvage it...i remember watching a vid of bob gatzen bending/putting pressure on it so it goes back to a perfect round!

I think Drum Resources sells it http://www.drumsresources.com/main.htm.
But theirs are not normal hoops, they sell S Hoops.

> TF hoops are the norm these days. So it really depends on what you mean by 'normal'. Other styles include single-flanged, die-casts, wood, and of course, S-hoops, which are said to offer the best of TF and DC hoops.

help anyone? and how much is an S-hoop?
> I believe you can try asking SweeLee. If they don't have any in stock (very likely) they'll order in for ya, being the tama distri.

S-Hoops can be costly. They go for about US$35 each. Not sure how much Nigel sells them for.

Don't know of any local stores selling generic hoops. An online source is http://www.drummaker.com/ Haven't tried any purchases myself.

If you're asking about local price, you gotta check with Nigel. US price I listed above.

'Strength' is hard to measure. In terms of rigidity, I believe DCs will be most, TF next, and SF the least.

Ranking? They sell some Lazer parts. When I asked for hoops, they said they don't stock. I was hoping they'd stock some Gibraltars, them being distributors, but they don't either.
