Because the drumheads provide an important source of vibration, the shape of the contact point of the head and shell determines and defines the sound. This is why TAMA has worked so extensively on achieving the most functional shape for the drum head and edge.Hoops not only affect drum tuning; they also affect drum sound. That's why the choice of hoops was so important to the designers of TAMA's professional drum lines. They chose zinc die-cast hoops, which are manufactured by injecting molten metal into molds. Die-cast hoops have more density and are more consistent in shape than triple-flanged hoops, which are manufactured by bending metal plates. Die-cast hoops make tuning more consistent and easier to achieve because the tension bolts always contact the hoop properly. Drums fitted with die-cast hoops also offer crisper attack, clear and resonant highs, and much more powerful rim shots.SPECIFICATIONSSize: 8x7-InchFinish: Caramel AuroraShell Material: Maple/BirchHoops: Die-Cast Hoop Manufacturer: TamaModel: MBST8ACARSKU: I647151-N-0-WHXAUPC: 4549763274946We are Chuck Levin's Washington Music CenterMaryland, Virginia, and Washington DC's legendary music shop.
