So does anyone know where to buy 15 inch metal or wood hoops to put on a 15x12 slingy marching snare? I have a idea for converting a marcher to a bass drum for small jazz gigs....anyone here ever done this? I see that Canopus drum company manufactures 15 inch bass drums and they got the inital idea by using 15 inch marchers! thought it would be a cool idea.

Yikes, this is a small BD. The problem with the vintage snare rims is they aren't very wide and would be hard to attach a pedal to. Might work depending on your pedal?

Interesting project.
Thought of it myself a while ago, but did not have resources yet to get it done.
One of my "alternative" ideas:
Mounting a suspension-rim backwards on the drum, to create a platform to attach your pedal to.
One like this: [IMG]http://static.musiciansfriend.com/derivates/6/001/229/409/DV019_Jpg_Regular_446161_8-4.jpg[/IMG]
So that you can even raise your drum if needed / wanted.
And here an example (not me) of what it could sound like:
