Drum N Base HP180 Bass Drum Hoop Protector - Full Hoop Protection and Increased Pedal Grip
Kick pedals take a beating - and so does your bass drum hoop. The Drum N Base HP180 Bass Drum Hoop Protector is a simple, effective solution that clips onto your bass drum hoop and shields it from the wear and damage caused by your kick pedal, while simultaneously improving pedal grip for a more secure, consistent feel underfoot.
At £8.89, it's one of the most cost-effective ways to protect a component that's expensive to replace and easy to damage over time.

Why Do You Need a Hoop Protector?
Over time, kick pedals cause real damage to bass drum hoops - scratches, dents, and worn finishes are common on any regularly played kit. On wooden hoops this can lead to structural weakening; on metal hoops it affects appearance and resale value. The HP180 prevents this damage from accumulating, keeping your hoop in better condition for longer. The added pedal grip is a bonus that many drummers find improves their feel and consistency, particularly on slippery or lacquered hoops.
Who Is It For?
-
Any drummer with an acoustic bass drum - an essential protective accessory for regular players
-
Gigging drummers - protect your hoop from the wear of regular setup and teardown
-
Drummers with premium or vintage kits - preserve the condition and value of your bass drum hoop
-
Players who want more pedal stability - the improved grip makes a noticeable difference on slippery hoops
