.....anyone got a 16" 'oop?

I'm in the middle of a drum restoration project and am missing a 16" (6 Lug - I know! Quality or what!?) triple flanged hoop.

Does anyone have one knocking around in their nether regions that they'd care to part with for beer tokens?

Ta muchly.

saying that..u could try chas hooper at belthorne,blackburn!

I could check with Chas....but I'd need to remortgage to buy it if he had one! It's a 70's Hohner by the look of it. Shells are in fantastic condition but the hardware has rusted to feck. Luckily I have an extensive range of spare parts to refit the lugs and tom mounts etc but I'm one hoop short.

And what's with the "fella" - not another misogynistic muso who thinks all drummers are blokes? Sheesh ;)

can you not use some curtain track or something??

Er, Willow, I want to sell the drums, not create a "window treatment" with them. As "radical" as the proclivities in taste that the youth of today display are I think even they will draw the line (not to mention the curtain) at a nice jacquard encased kit.
