Funny thing, the S hoops was about the only thing Vinnie liked...lol
They have 3 models is this design, the Origin performance which has stave shells and S hoops, the Orgin classic which has steam bent shells and wood hoops then the Origin custom that you can have built whatever way you want which is why they have extra accessories to show this.
BTW out of all the isolation mounting systems they tried the Gauger rims choked the drum the least.
Here is a link to an interview with Gary Gauger from Drummer Cafe, very informative when they talk about why they changed to alloy from steel and also about how big band drummers worry more about the sound than the looks.
