Gibraltar SC-BDHG Bass Drum Hoop Guard

I added this rubber guard as soon I have purchased my new drum set. It fits nice, and glue is not too firm so you could remove it easily. Also I combined this gibraltar hoop guard with Tama WHP2 Wood Hoop Saver which I stick on the bottom side of the hoop, it is much thinner but enough to protect the opposite side of the hoop from pedal scracthes. Great products indeed, both of them.

This is a product that most drummers go without, and foolishly so.

These are a must have if you want to save your bass drum hoop from being scratched by your bass drum pedal, also it will help it grip properly.

These are inexpensive and will save you a massive expense in the future if you ever want to trade your kit in, and a guy/girl will want a chunk of money removed from the sale because of the damage to bass drum hoop, this will also save your bass drum hoop in general.

Must have.

easy to fit and does exactly what is says. I have one top and bottom of the hoop for maximum protection. Had to trip off one return edge to make this work in a smoother action but no big deal.

My Millenium bass drum hoop is too thin and i buy those guard for better bass drum pedal attachment. Works fine and also this guard is good for marking where to put your pedal.

This is an excellent drum hoop guard as it protects both sides of the hoop. Even though it doesn't stick very well to the hoops, it is still firmly in place when using a drum pedal on it. I would recommend this to anyone looking to protect their drums from scratches on the wood from the moving pedal.

Protects the rim from the nasty bass drum pedal. I had to adjust one of them slightly as I wanted to use both of them to protect both sides on the rim.

Have been using the Gibraltar Drum Hoop Guard on our rental kit and it's a great little add-on. The glue doesn't hold forever but it stays in place for a reasonable amount of time and you can apply a new one pretty easily, just clean the rim surface before applying the product.
Overall a great add-on for kits where the kick pedal has to come in and out multiple times.

Gotta look after your hoop.

I have just got a new kit and it is easy to over tighten the pedal clamp. I am using one with an old Pearl pedal and its great, easy to fit and no restrictive. Just ordered a DW double pedal, so I will see how universal they are. As always the service and help from Thomann is first class
