Pretty sure I have one.....will have to check though........might be COB

all I see on ebay are snare bottoms, like this, will that work on a tom?

Yes, a bottom snare hoop will work. It's a more expensive way to go, since they are harder to find.

Any reason you are looking for a "bottom" hoop specifically? On toms, are you aware of any difference between top and bottom hoops?

The top and bottom hoops on toms are typically the same and they come up pretty regularly on eBay. If you need 8-lug 15" Slingerland "stick saver" hoops, here are a couple of current eBay listings that aren't snare side hoops:

Nickel Plated

Chrome Plated

You can also buy single hoops from places like drummaker.com or drumfoundry.com , although new "Slingerland-style" hoops typically aren't a perfect cosmetic match for vintage Slingerland hoops. They'll work just fine, though. A snare side hoop would also work, but it'll look funny since it has a snare gate.

Thanks gents!!!

I checked both forums posted above they do not have, does anyone have one here to sell?

OT; I have a NOS 15"Slingerland clear black dot available when you find your hoop:Santa:

I have my hoop, thanks!
