I need to replace bottom hoop on my 13" mounted tom on my 1960's Slingerland. Is there a big difference in using a chrome over steel hoop as opposed to a chrome hoop? Is there even a difference? Should I go for the Chrome over brass instead if I want to restore properly?

Help!

Thanks!

whats wrong with the original hoop?, is the original chrome over steel or chrome over brass?

I never had it but I'd like to get one. I see that some are COS and some are COB. It's from early 1960's.

Thanks for any help,
David
