.....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.

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 ;)

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.
