Yes plastic hoops on these drum's are right.These M.I.J. set's from about 1967 to about 1971 you could fine these hoop's on them.Today it's un-common to fine a set with both hoop's on the bass drum...I would keep these hoop's on the drum and would not change them out for wood one's..FYI these hoop's are Not painted black,they are made of black plastic....Mikey
