Do you use S-Hoops on both sides of your snares?
Gavin Says:
I think they make the most difference on the top of the snare drum because of rimshots and that they hold O-rings so well.
I do think there's a tuning advantage because of the rigidity of the hoop. I have them top and bottom on my main Sonor snare - and just on the top of quite a few of my other snares. I have them just on the top of the toms too.
