Wood/Metal Kick Drum Hoops, Front/Back?

Posts: 602 Threads: 49

Hey gang. Putting together a nice little kit for a customer, and do to some prior swapping around, I'm left with one wood hoop, and one metal for the kick drum. This is a little 20/12/14/14 3 ply MIJ kit, with re-rings and single row lugs. Would like to get the best from them, and was hoping for an opinion whether I should put the wood hoop on the batter side, or the reso side? Thanks.

I'd put it on the reso side - looks better. Meanwhile the metal hoop can take all the kick pedal abuse...

I'd put the metal on the reso..

However my consideration is because the metal hoops are harder to tune. ( adjust one tensioner and the adjacent two will loosen off ).. Also most metal hoops have a metallic resonance that I just do not like.

Cheers

Thanks guys. I'm not as concerned about cosmetics, the metal hoop is painted black, and I usually put something to protect the hoop from the pedal. It was more about the best tone. Think I'll try wood on the reso side. Cheers.
