How about the blond?

I guess it’s nice to have options. I put the stock hoops back on. I’m going to go over to a Home Depot and see if they can mix me a paint to match the shells. It’s obviously a red-orange, and you can barely see the grain underneath. But if they can match it, then I’ll paint the blonde hoops to match😉

I'm digging the red..its all personal. I don't even like the DW stained outer natural inner. When I got my Gretsch Renown turquoise sparkle I was so relieved the hoops were all sparkle.

I think painting the sub hoops is a good idea. I really prefer the matching hoops, rather than the blonde.

Me too. Crossing fingers a place like Home Depot can match what I bring in. They’ve done really good color matching when my wife talks to them so I’m hoping this shouldn’t be that big of a deal.

I decided to remove the original matching lacquered hoops and installed these Gibraltar blond maple hoops. Long ago I dropped my 1984 Tama Superstar cherry wine bass drum and cracked one of the matching hoops so that episode always plays on my head.

So the originals live in a closet nice and safe now. This look is growing on me.
Looks great to me! I had the same on my round badge Gretsch. The contrast is awesome.....l.jpeg
