Can anyone tell if this is a Gretsch die cast hoop or if not know what brand it might be? It came on a recent purchase. I have the correct replacement hoop which will get added after a clean and detail of the drum. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I can take better pics later once the drum is stripped down if these just don't do it.
Hi Glenn,
It does look like a Gretsch to me, circa 60's. Another clue is if the bottom of the aluminum drum hoop extends beyond the bottom of the die-cast hoop. Gretsch hoop channels were not as deep, exposing the bottom of the drum head hoop. Let us know. Thanks!

Looks like a bunch I have so yep. That lip inside is one familiar sign.
Hi Mark thank you very much. Seems the head hoop does extend below the die cast hoop. Here's a quick picture.
Thanks for the confirm Gaskeg. Good to know! Thanks Gents!
Yep...it's a Gretsch!

Glenn, funny you should have started this thread. In the lot I recently picked up a a die cast rim with 5 lug holes. My first thought was Gretsch and was gonna start a thread, but since it's identical to yours I guess it's a Gretsch. What's the value on just a 12" rim?
Jay, glad your question was also answered. Don't know the value sorry. I think the 12" would be a more popular size most look for with the BOP kits so sought after?
