Detail 01
8 in.
Diameter must match the drum exactly. An 8-inch hoop will not seat on a 10-inch tom.

GibraltarChrome Tom Drum Hoop 8 in. 5-Lug
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 8-inch, 5-lug chrome hoop for a rack tom. Replacement part for a drummer with a bent, rusted, or mismatched hoop.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a hoop dented or bent by rimshots
- Restoring chrome hardware on an older kit
- Keeping a spare for a gigging 8-inch tom
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers wanting die-cast hoop tone and tuning stability
- Anyone whose tom uses a different lug count
- Toms of any diameter other than 8 inches
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
5-lug
Hole spacing has to line up with the drum's lugs. A 6-lug 8-inch tom will not accept this.
Detail 03
Chrome
Matches standard chrome kit hardware. It will not blend with black, brass, or satin fittings.
Detail 04
Tom hoop
Sized for a tom, not a snare. Snare hoops are cut differently for the throw-off and strainer.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Count the lugs on your tom and measure the shell diameter before ordering
- 02Tension rods, washers, and the drumhead are separate
- 03One hoop only, not a top-and-bottom pair
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my 8-inch tom?
Only if the tom is 5-lug. Count the tension rods on the side you're replacing. Six rods means this hoop won't line up.
02Does it come with tension rods?
No. This is the hoop by itself. Reuse your existing rods and washers, or buy them separately.
03Can I use it on the bottom of the tom?
Yes, if the bottom is also 5-lug. Top and bottom hoops on a tom are the same part.
04Is it triple-flanged or die-cast?
It's a standard chrome tom hoop. If you specifically want die-cast, look for a hoop labeled as such.
