You could:

1. buy a roll of the red hi-bond tape and cut to fit.

2. use a gel form of superglue

3. staple staple staple

4. rubber cement is an intriguing possibility for this job

5. use the drippings from fresh squeeze orange juice - dude, that stuff is seriously sticky!

Good luck and have fun.

Other post have advised that just a little hot glue where the ends meet is sufficient, with the removed staples re-installed. Or, a small-headed brass tack might look more purrdeeurr.

There are some threads about this ... you could run a search for 'bass drum hoop inlay" and see what you find also

Thanks all, I'll look into all those suggestions

3M contact cement. You apply a very light amount to the groove in the hoop and to the underside of the strip and wait for it to get tacky. You carefully align things and starting at one end, you lay the strip in and press it as you go until you get to the other end. Be warned, though....There's no second chances with contact cement. If you get out of alignment, the whole thing is trashed because the glue won't let you manipulate the orientation once it makes contact. And once it makes contact, it's not going to move!

I've never tried the hi-bond tape method, but for hoop strips, it might be perfect. I wouldn't use it for wrapping a drum, though, because it leaves air gaps....but I digress:p
