Abstract
A drum hoop with integral lug bolt receivers defined around the hoop. Each lug bolt receiver including a through hole through which a lug bolt is passed to a respective lug on the periphery of the drum body. Because the lug bolt receivers are integrated with the hoop, the receivers are retained and do not separate from the drum hoop when the lug bolts are loosened for enabling replacement of a drum head held by the drum hoop. In addition, the interior surface of the drum hoop is tapered toward the outer surface in a direction from the outer edge toward the inner edge of the hoop to facilitate attachment of a clamp to the drum hoop.
