cast hoops do dry out the tone, but rimshots and rim-clicks can sound muted.

If you can really tune a drum, i would opt for a 2.3mm flanged hoop on top and a cast hoop on the bottom....i believe that stewart copeland made that popular, and it really works! (thinking back, he might have done it in reverse, but i prefer flanged hoops for a more full bodied rim shot)

any consideration as to what kind of wires or strainer assembly you will be using?
the Trick aluminium strainers are very nice and built very well, but if you dont want to drop that kind of cash, drumsupplyhouse and amdrumparts both have a good selection.
