African Blackwood (Mpingo) is among the hardest wood species in the world, and one of the most prized. Stanbridge Drum Company makes a donation to the African Blackwood Conservation Project for each instrument produced from this remarkable timber resource.

Above: African Blackwood 14" by 5" snare drum
with matching hoops. See this drum in our drums section.

Our Blackwood Hoops are supremely tough and possess a high pitched wood block type of tone, which carries above other instruments.

Note: We are currently only offering our hardwood hoops for sale on our own complete instruments.
