Original Hoops?

Posts: 80 Threads: 37

How can I tell if the hoops that came on my "all original" 50's Radio King are original or at least correct? Do original factory hoops have Slingerland cast on the inside, some type of number or character/design?

Also, are the correct hoops COB or COS and how can you tell the difference?

Thanks very much.

Here is a picture of the clam shell area of the hoop, not sure good enough.

Thanks

They look original to me.

Brass - Magnet does not stick <> Steel - Magnet sticks

This is usually the method we use to see if something is brass or steel on a drum like this. Of cours if something is aluminum like on Ludwig drums the magnet will also not stick and people think it is brass, when it is not.

You will find more information on this page of the web site. These are pages I never finished or did not have the complete information at the time.
