What can I use to Protect Bass Drum Hoops

Look on Amazon for Big Bang Distribution Bass Drum Heads DNB. Another good option is Dr. Scholl's Moleskin Pads. View attachment 480685

I use this one too. Easy, cheap and works marvelous.

Kenner Hoop Savers for Bass Drums

Hi guys, I'm posting this info for my friend Don Kenner. He's the one who makes those leather hoop protectors you used to see on Ebay. Excellent quality. After having multiple Ebay/PayPal issues lately, he's decided to shut down his Ebay page. I told him I'd put in a word at DFO if he wanted me...

An index card, piece of cardboard, piece of rubber, or pretty much whatever is handy will work!

Can't remember who makes them, but there are thin metal clip-on style hoop protectors Ive used & liked.

I like their protector, but this specific one leaves bottom out as well.

Finally there’s a hoop guard that truly works AND improves pedal grip. Hoop PROtect is made from a proprietary rubber that slips on WITHOUT adhesives to PROtect the whole hoop while providing unparalleled pedal grip. And if you play more than one set, or on backline kits, you can easily

Haven’t any experience with this but it sounds great.

I can vouch for these, and for Twin Cities Drum Collective. I’m in Minneapolis and frequent this shop. I have two of these, one of which I intend to use where my Yamaha EAD10 clamps to the top of the bass hoop. I’ll note that I had to readjust the clamps on my pedals to get them to fit - it’s thicker than the other I’ve used but I appreciate that it covers both the top and bottom of the hoop.

The Pearl metal one works great. Used it for years and hundreds of gigs without hoop rash. Also, I only pinch it on, not screw it on.

My Tama STAR Maple kit came with adhesive hoop protectors, and not knowing this until it arrived, I had also bought a different adhesive protector (the product name escapes me at the moment). When it came down to it, I decided I didn't want adhesives/residue on the hoops, so I use a stick sleeve, folded so it goes both over and under the hoop, and the pedal doesn't directly contact the hoop.
