Hovland Bell Ringer™ hoops are indeed a new breed of drum hoops. With our unique 90 degree playable inner ledge design Hovland hoops are a percussion instrument and a drum hoop all in one. Rimshots are absolutely massive and cross-sticking feels and sounds so good. The ledge design adds more heft to our hoops, which also adds overall tensile strength and greater tuning consistency. In a tap test off the drum while being suspended, these things ring like a bell. Hence the Bell Ringer™ name.
The 90 degree overhanging ledge design protects vulnerable bearing edges from taking an inadvertent stick strike and our 90 degree ledge design also produces extra resonance and sustain in these hoops. Translating to the overall musicality of any snare drum. From an Acrolite to a Bell bronze or a Hovland Suspension Series™ snare Hovland Bell Ringer™ hoops deliver on stage or in the studio.
