Grooved Hoop

The first factor we focused on to achieve a new snare drum sound was the effect of the hoop. So, we carefully studied the evolution of the hoop over time. In doing so, we came up with an idea that combines vintage design and modern technology. That idea is the essence of our totally new “Grooved Hoop.”
