For my new Blaemire 13 by 7 3/8 snare. 6 lug. To build.
I cannot find a die cast 13, 6 hole snare side rim with the slots pre-cut.
Has anyone tried the "S" hoops.
Supposedly the strength of die cast without taking the tone out of the drum.
Never tried S rims before.
Cheaper than die cast and I can get one with slots.
Or I can get 2 regular 13-6 die casts and cut slots in lower rim myself.
Any experience with S things.
Note, a flange sticks out into the playing area about 1/4 to 3/8 inch on the S rims.
I guess it is like extending the length of the top most flange and sending it towards the center.
drumaker has them.
Thanks guys.
