Hi Gang,
I'm looking for a bottom hoop for my Max Roach snare. The one that is on it is a top hoop that someone drilled holes in to accommodate snare strings (I know...what?). I've seen some low-profile ones on eBay with the slots, but came across this one the other day. I've not seen a bottom hoop like this and wondered if you have any info about it. Thanks for any assistance! Cheers, Rick |

Hi Rick!
It's definitely a Gretsch hoop! Here's a link to a snare drum on eBay with the same hoop. Personally, I think it's an odd way to route the snare wires/strap, but that's what Gretsch was using. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Late-50s-Early-60s-Vintage-Gretsch-Round-Badge-5x14-Snare-Drum-Gold-Sparkle/153246996566?hash=item23ae3b9856:g:jWEAAOSwhJFbt7U k:rk:12 ![]() -Mark |

That hoop was definitely NOT used with the Max Roach snare drum. This hoop only worked with their lever strainer, the Microsensitive strainer and THAT hoop simply will not work on the 4" Gretsch model snares. The max Roach uses the shorter version of the Microsensitive, and even that comes very close to the batter's hoop, those "gates" will stick out too far and the Micro will hit it. That hoop was for earlier and some different models than the Max Roach.
Though it is a Gretsch hoop. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Last edited by Rik_Everglade; 11-06-2018 at 06:06 PM. |

Thanks Guys! I'll stick with the low-profile slotted hoop then. Also, do you know if the Micro-Sensitive reproductions will work with the 4 x 14?
