The bottom hoop is cracked and broken on the snare butt side. You can't see it because the damage is under the claw...holding it together!
The wooden hoop on my old Slingerland marching drum had a split starting at the snare gate. After gluing it with Titebond II, sanding, and refinishing, you'd hardly know it was ever broken. If it ever re-breaks, I'll make the same repair, but I'll also drill it and insert a pin to hold the joint.
