I'm looking at a 14x6.5 Supra that has a pointy 70s badge but with big fat Ludwig diecast hoops. It's labelled as a Coliseum but i suspect that's just the hoops as the drum is definitely a Supra. My question is, are the hoops valuable at all? If I bought it I'd want to fit the standard hoops which will cost money but will I get that back on the DC hoops? Sorry, no photos.
The drum is very tidy and they are asking the equivilent of $540usd and it's local so no shipping. Thanks
Greetings. Really even a fair price on one die-cast should allow you to score 2 tri-flange. I use 2.[COLOR="Red"]3mm [/COLOR]from Interstate. You'll be amazed how they will change the tone of that drum. Make a bit of profit on the DC too...Coffee Break2

Details on these hoops please.......
thanks Roscoe, that's good to know.
Gregg - the triple flange hoops Roscoe referred to or the DC hoops?
If memory serves, Ludwig began offering DC batter hoops
as optional around the mid-eighties. ( 75th Anniversary )
So, an LB-402D would be a factory DC batter hoop.
Certainly an easy ( and pricey ) upgrade right from the Marching line.
The Luddy hoop was very Deco in that it had no "ears"
Or it could be an after-market.
I digress.
Pearl Super II, Tama, DW and of course Ludwig are nice too.

If you do not like the hoops, I'd be interested in them. I love the old twin channel die casts....

The shipping from New Zealand may put you off thoughMind Blowi
I'm still undecided on this, not helped by my purchase of a 10 lug 6.5x14 Slingerland Sound King yesterday on ebay USA. Even with the expensive shipping it was just over half the price of the Supra which is just a walk from my house.
I'll let you know though

The triples please
