I have fitted S hoops on all my kit and i love them. The only hoop causing me trouble is the snare side one.
I'm not able to tune the resonant head, the hoop touches it. I have a Pearl Chad Smith signature. The snare doesn't work in this configuration.
I don't know if the problem comes from the hoop or the snare construction.
So i put back the original hoop for the resonant head only, kept the S on top and the snare is amazing.
4 starts because i don't know where the problem comes from: Pearl / S Hoop.
Looking forward to trying it on another snare drum.
The build quality is very good.
