How do you tell the difference between a COB and COS tom rim? I've been looking for the answer but can't really find it. On some of the bass tension rods I can see the brass where the chrome has worn off. But looking at the tom rims to my kit (slingerland) I can't tell which they are. Any guidance would be great thanks. I can post some pics of my rims if it'll help.
Tom rims COB vs COS how to tell which is which?
Not a guru just havin fun with some old dusty drums.
Just to add I tried a magnet and it would not stick to my rims. I can see a worn edge in one of the tension rods holes on one rim and it's indeed brass. Just curious if your out looking at kits and parts if there's a easy way to ID.

Use a STRONG magnet though........
My dad gave me a very nice one from his machine shop days.......
no guessing whether brass or steel now!
Home Despot and Lowes/Maynards sell good ones too.
