I placed the S-Hoop in top of a 12" Pearl Firecracker. The overall sound became more direct with a lot more attack and bass when hitting rimshots. Another good effect of this kind of hoop (all other sizes included) is more stability. The batter head stays better in tune, especially when you make rimshots all the time on the same place of the hoop. When this is the case, it is a lot more stable than a normal 1,6mm standard hoop.
I use this hoop in combination with different sizes of ring-dampers, which slide under the hoop and stay there even if you hold the snare upside down and shake it. Very nice and the snare becomes a very versatile and central piece of your drumkit.
I only can recommend to upgrade every snare with these hoops, because they have the sound of die cast hoops and create several possibilities of forming the sound plus the better stability.

I would recommend for the right drum

Feel is really cool, I personally love it for rim shots and its less impact going into your wrist. I have it on a pearl utility 12x7 which has a triple flange (more open) setup by default and the s-hoop really sounds great on it.

Really well made and solid, the s-hoop help focus the sound of each drum and make tuning easier. They also create a pleasant profile to the drum because of their flat rim that sits close to the head.

Best purchase I've made in a long time

This hoop is amazing. I had a lot of trouble with hitting rimshots and eating through sticks on my 12" snare featuring die-cast hoops, but when I swapped the top one out for this S-hoop, my rimshots sound a lot fuller, the snare sounds fatter in general and my sticks barely take any beating whatsoever. It looks cool, too! Overall a great purchase.
