I bought a Sonor Teardrop Bass Drum and it came with metal hoops. Date stamped November 1970 inside. Did they somehow use metal hoops on the last few teardrop sets in the early 70's as the teardrops where no going to be built anymore or do I need to find some wood hoops to complete this BD
Thanks

I had a 1960's set in aqua sparkle or aqua marine sparkle whatever they called it. It was basically mint and all original and the original hoops on it were metal hoops with matching inlays. Not sure on the early 70's.
I take that back. Come to think of it i may have touched up the hoops if i remember so they would have been wood hoops. Not sure its been so many years. Im sure someone else will come in here and answer correctly.
Yes, they did use metal hoops for the bds on the later teardrop kits.
My early 70's teardrop bd has metal hoops.
As does my 1970 kit.
mine has metal hoops also
My Early 60's have wood hoops
