It has been chosen hoops zinc casting that are manufactured by cast metal injection in moulds. Them hoops die casts have more density and have a more consistent form than the hoops with “normal” that are manufactured by folding metal plates. Them hoops casting make the tuning is more consistent and easy to achieve because screws tension always come in contact with hoop correctly. Toms equipped with this type of hoops offer a sharper, clearer, sharper attack resonants besides more powerful rimshot.
